Kernel messages produced during runtime PM can cause a never-ending
cycle because user space utilities (e.g. journald or rsyslog) write the
messages back to storage, causing runtime resume, more messages, and so
on.
Messages that tell of things that are expected to happen, are arguably
unnecessary, so suppress them.
UFS driver messages are changes to from dev_err() to dev_dbg() which means
they will not display unless activated by dynamic debug of building
with -DDEBUG.
sdev->quiet_suspend is set to skip messages from sd_suspend_common()
"Synchronizing SCSI cache", "Stopping disk" and scsi_report_sense()
"Power-on or device reset occurred" message (Note, that message appears
when the LUN is accessed after runtime PM, not during runtime PM)
Example messages from Ubuntu 21.10:

Note for stable: depends on patch "scsi: Add quiet_suspend flag for SCSI
devices to suppress some PM messages"

Changes in V4:
Separate patch for UFS driver changes only.
Changes in V3:
Keep reset sense message for non-UFS devices
Changes in V2:
Remove offending SCSI messages
Use dev_dbg for offending UFSHCD messages
