Turn a pr_info() into a pr_debug() to prevent dmesg spamming on systems
where memory hotplug is a frequent operation.

Fixes: 966cf44f637e ("mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init pgmap")

Can you please specify what you mean by frequent hotplug: wow frequent
is it and what is the usecase?

The use case is virtualization environment, case like new virtual machines
are spun up and shut down frequently and where the workload of the virtual
machines varies widely over time. So specially in case of small virtual machines.
We can talk about multiple times per hour, depends on the workload.
