[PATCH v3] xen/mce: don't issue error message for failed /dev/mcelog registration

[Juergen Gross]

When running under Xen as dom0 /dev/mcelog is being registered by Xen
instead of the normal mcelog driver. Avoid an error message being
issued by the mcelog driver in this case. Instead issue an informative
message that Xen has registered the device.
