Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Remove getparam error message
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 53e16798b0864464c5444a204e1bb93ae246c429 upstream.
The mesa winsys sometimes uses unimplemented parameter requests to
check for features. Remove the error message to avoid bloating the
kernel log.
