It is strange to combine "pr_err" with "INFO", so let's clean them up.
This patch is motivated by David's comment[1].

- before the patch

These are usually printed as part of slab_bug() with its prominent banner. In
that sense it's additional details, thus INFO. The details itself are not error,
thus ERR makes little sense imho. How about removing the prefix completely, or
just replacing with an ident to make it visually part of the BUG report.
