[PATCH v2] net/core: tidy up an error message
From: Qian Cai
Date: Sat Dec 01 2018 - 21:12:00 EST
netif_napi_add() could report an error like this below due to it allows
to pass a format string for wildcarding before calling
dev_get_valid_name(),
"netif_napi_add() called with weight 256 on device eth%d"
For example, hns_enet_drv module does this.
hns_nic_try_get_ae
hns_nic_init_ring_data
netif_napi_add
register_netdev
dev_get_valid_name
Hence, make it a bit more human-readable by using netdev_err_once()
instead.

v2:
* Used netdev_err_once() suggested by Joe.
* Replaced the hard-coded function name with __func__.
