[PATCH] dm-thin: Change couple of DMWARN() to pr_debug()

[PATCH] dm-thin: Change couple of DMWARN() to pr_debug()

[Vivek Goyal]

Right now we use DMWARN to output a message on console if thin/snap device
creation fails. It has two problems.

- First of all this is not a warning and an error. In case of error, just
  returning code to user space should be good enough. If we need some debug
  info out, then a better choice will be pr_debug() which can be enabled
  when the need be.

- dm-thin expects users to keep track of already used device id. If an
  application tries to reuse the id, then -EEXIST is returned but this
  message is also displayed on console.

[17991.140135] device-mapper: thin: Creation of new snapshot 33 of device 3 failed

Docker does not keep track of already used device ids. Instead it starts from
0 and keeps on incrementing this id and retrying till it succeeds. And that
leads to flooding console with above messages.

I think it is better to just return error code to user space and not give
any warning. Instead convert this into pr_debug() so that if need be one
can enable it dynamically using debugfs and get some debug data out on a
running system.

One can enable all pr_debug() in dm-thin.c file using following.

echo 'file dm-thin.c +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
