Subject: perf/x86/uncore: Don't WARN_ON_ONCE() for a broken discovery table
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5d515ee40cb57ea5331998f27df7946a69f14dc3 upstream.
The kernel warning message is triggered, when SPR MCC is used.
[ 17.945331] ------------[ cut here ]------------

It's caused by the broken discovery table of UPI.
The discovery tables are from hardware. Except for dropping the broken
information, there is nothing Linux can do. Using WARN_ON_ONCE() is
overkilled.
Use the pr_info() to replace WARN_ON_ONCE(), and specify what uncore unit
is dropped and the reason.
