Kernel messages produced during runtime PM can cause a never-ending cycle
because user space utilities (e.g. journald or rsyslog) write the messages
back to storage, causing runtime resume, more messages, and so on.
Messages that tell of things that are expected to happen, are arguably
unnecessary, so suppress them.
UFS driver messages are changes to from dev_err() to dev_dbg() which means
they will not display unless activated by dynamic debug of building with
-DDEBUG.
sdev->silence_suspend is set to skip messages from sd_suspend_common()
"Synchronizing SCSI cache", "Stopping disk" and scsi_report_sense()
"Power-on or device reset occurred" message (Note, that message appears
when the LUN is accessed after runtime PM, not during runtime PM)
Example messages from Ubuntu 21.10:
$ dmesg | tail

Note for stable: depends on patch "scsi: core: sd: Add silence_suspend flag
to suppress some PM messages".
