This should be dev_dbg() at most. This out of band reporting is not
particular useful for applications as it is impossible to match the error to
the action that triggered it. And you also report the error through the
error code, so the applications knows what is going on.

This should just propagate the error returned by wait_for_completion...().
This will make sure that the right behavior occurs based on the SA_RESTART
policy.
