Jiri reported that the current kexec_dprintk() always prints out debugging
message whenever kexec/kdmmp loading is triggered. That is not wanted.
The debugging message is supposed to be printed out when 'kexec -s -d' is
specified for kexec/kdump loading.
After investigating, the reason is the current kexec_dprintk() takes
printk(KERN_INFO) or printk(KERN_DEBUG) depending on whether '-d' is
specified. However, distros usually have defaulg log level like below:
[~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
7 4 1 7
So, even though '-d' is not specified, printk(KERN_DEBUG) also always
prints out. I thought printk(KERN_DEBUG) is equal to pr_debug(), it's
not.
Fix it by changing to use pr_info() instead which are expected to work.
