mm: alloc_contig_range: demote pages busy message from warn to info

mina86 · torvalds · commit dae803e165a1 · 2014-11-13T16:17:05.000-08:00
Having test_pages_isolated failure message as a warning confuses users
into thinking that it is more serious than it really is.  In reality, if
called via CMA, allocation will be retried so a single
test_pages_isolated failure does not prevent allocation from succeeding.

Demote the warning message to an info message and reformat it such that
the text "failed" does not appear and instead a less worrying "PFNS
busy" is used.

This message is trivially reproducible on a 10GB x86 machine on 3.16.y
kernels configured with CONFIG_DMA_CMA.
