[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovs-vsctl: Change log level of vsctl_parent_process_info

[Kyle Mestery]

While running the ovn-scale-test [1] port-binding tests [2], I notice a
continual stream of messages such as this:

Tracing these down, this is due to the check in vsctl_parent_process_info(),
which is verifying if the parent process can be opened. Since ovn-scale-test
runs sandboxes in containers, and these are run as root, there is no /proc/0
in the container. Thus, the check fails, and the error message is printed out.
It's unclear what value this log message provides, so removing it clears up
this problem and is probably the best option.
