Some nics may not provide a serial number (PCI capability
RTE_PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_DSN).

This results in a confusing ERROR log:
ICE_INIT: ice_dev_init(): Failed to read device serial number

This is confusing as DDP loading does *not* require the serial number to
be present for the port to be functional afterwards.

Besides, after trying various path, if the default DDP is not present on
the runtime system, the port initialisation ends up with a vague error:
ICE_INIT: ice_load_pkg(): failed to search file path

Improve the situation with adjusting the log level when reading the
SN fails, then add more debug context to DDP file loading and end up
with a ERROR log mentioning the expected file.

ICE_INIT: ice_firmware_read(): Cannot read DDP file
	/lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/ice-b49691ffffe6e69c.pkg
ICE_INIT: ice_firmware_read(): Cannot read DDP file
	/lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice-b49691ffffe6e69c.pkg
ICE_INIT: ice_firmware_read(): Cannot read DDP file
	/lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg
ICE_INIT: ice_firmware_read(): Cannot read DDP file
	/lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg
ICE_INIT: ice_load_pkg(): Failed to load default DDP package
	/lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg
