Feedback was given to avoid informational pr_err() calls that print to stderr, even though that's done all through out the code. Using printf() directly doesn't maintain the same format (an "mdadm" prefix on every line. So introduce pr_info() which prints to stdout with the same format and use it for a couple informational pr_err() calls in Create(). Future work can make this call used in more cases.
