Subject: kexec: fix the unexpected kexec_dprintk() macro
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 12:22:38 +0800

Jiri reported that the current kexec_dprintk() always prints out debugging
message whenever kexec/kdmmp loading is triggered.  That is not wanted. 
The debugging message is supposed to be printed out when 'kexec -s -d' is
specified for kexec/kdump loading.

After investigating, the reason is the current kexec_dprintk() takes
printk(KERN_INFO) or printk(KERN_DEBUG) depending on whether '-d' is
specified.  However, distros usually have defaulg log level like below:

 [~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
 7       4      1       7

So, even though '-d' is not specified, printk(KERN_DEBUG) also always
prints out.  I thought printk(KERN_DEBUG) is equal to pr_debug(), it's
not.

Fix it by changing to use pr_info() instead which are expected to work.
