scsi: ufs: core: Fix typos in error messages
To the syzbot maintainers: I think this is a good example of a bisection
result that is wrong. It is unlikely that fixing typos in kernel
messages would affect whether or not the kernel hangs. Additionally, as
far as I know, the systems used by syzbot (Google Compute Engine virtual
machines) do trigger any code in the UFS driver.
Hi Bart,
syzbot has logic to detect commits that don't affect builds.
It hashes SHF_ALLOC vmlinux sections to check if the commit actually
has any effect on the binary:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/c673ca06b23cea94091ab496ef62c3513e434585/pkg/build/linux.go#L253-L286
Bug CONFIG_UFS_FS is enabled on syzbot, it has some coverage for it,
and strings affect the binary (can actually be the root cause for
bugs). So I don't see what else can be done here automatically.
