[PATCH] kexec: fix the unexpected kexec_dprintk() macro

[Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>]

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() and pr_debug() instead which are
expected to work.
