Sinan Kaya 1b6266ebe3 watchdog: Reduce message verbosity
Code is emitting the following error message during boot on systems
without PMU hardware support while probing NMI capability.

 NMI watchdog: Perf event create on CPU 0 failed with -2

This error is emitted as the perf subsystem returns -ENOENT due to lack of
PMUs in the system.

It is followed by the warning that NMI watchdog is disabled:

  NMI watchdog: Perf NMI watchdog permanently disabled

While NMI disabled information is useful for ordinary users, seeing a PERF
event create failed with error code -2 is not.

Reduce the message severity to debug so that if debugging is still possible
in case the error code returned by perf is required for analysis.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
