From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> commit af4edb1d50c6d1044cb34bc43621411b7ba2cffe upstream. 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 add a flag to suppress them. This flag is used by the UFS driver.
