powerpc/pseries/lparcfg: drop error message from guest name lookup
[ Upstream commit 12870ae3818e39ea65bf710f645972277b634f72 ]
It's not an error or exceptional situation when the hosting
environment does not expose a name for the LP/guest via RTAS or the
device tree. This happens with qemu when run without the '-name'
option. The message also lacks a newline. Remove it.
