Subject: IB/IPoIB: Remove can't use GFP_NOIO warning

From: Kamal Heib <[email protected]>

commit 0b59970e7d96edcb3c7f651d9d48e1a59af3c3b0 upstream.

Remove the warning print of "can't use of GFP_NOIO" to avoid prints in each QP creation when devices aren't supporting IB_QP_CREATE_USE_GFP_NOIO.

This print become more annoying when the IPoIB interface is configured to work in connected mode.

Fixes 09b93088d750 ('IB: Add a QP creation flag to use GFP_NOIO allocations')
