Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Are there different printouts which cover this? I mean the debug printout is not appearing all the time, it must be enabled, if I remember correctly. So why do
you suggest to remove it?

 		m->nr_pages = 0;
 		m->u_vaddr = NULL;
 		m->size = 0;	/* mark unused and not added */

Regards
