Currently, no exception information is output when devtmpfs create node
failed, so add log info for it.

Why?  Who is going to do something with this?
We execute the lsscsi command after the disk is connected, we occasionally find that some disks do not have dev nodes and these disks cannot be used. However, there is no abnormal log output during disk scanning. We analyze that it may be caused by the failure of devtmpfs create dev node, so the log is added here.
The lscsi command query results and kernel logs as follows:

Why is an error message pr_info()?
Do you recommend using pr_err()?

And again, why is this needed?  If this needs to be checked, why are you
now checking it but ignoring the error?

What would this help with?
As above, we want to get the error info when the dev node fails to be created. We currently haven't figured out how to handle this exception well. But judging from the problems we are currently encountering, some may be because the corresponding dev node already exists, causing the creation to fail, but the node information is incorrect and the device cannot be used. as follows:
[root@localhost]# ll /dev/sdk
-rw-------. 1 root root 5368709120 Jul 8 09:51 /dev/sdk

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Xingui
