[PATCH 3.16 269/410] arm64: Remove unimplemented syscall log message

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Weiser <michael.weiser@xxxxxx>

commit 1962682d2b2fbe6cfa995a85c53c069fadda473e upstream.

Stop printing a (ratelimited) kernel message for each instance of an
unimplemented syscall being called. Userland making an unimplemented
syscall is not necessarily misbehaviour and to be expected with a
current userland running on an older kernel. Also, the current message
looks scary to users but does not actually indicate a real problem nor
help them narrow down the cause. Just rely on sys_ni_syscall() to return
-ENOSYS.
