cifs: don't spam the logs on unexpected lookup errors
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Andrey reported that he was seeing cifs.ko spam the logs with messages
like this:

    CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -26

He was listing the root directory of a server and hitting an error when
trying to QUERY_PATH_INFO against hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys. The
right fix would be to switch the lookup code over to using FIND_FIRST,
but until then we really don't need to report this at a level of
KERN_ERR. Convert this message over to FYI level.
