Target does not support some VPD pages and is very verbose about it.
Sometimes initiators don't bother and just keep sending the same request
from time to time, filling up the logs.

This patch lowers the message priority to debug.

This essentially means the message will never be seen since it is not
particularly common to twiddle the syslog level. Have you considered
pr_err_once() or similar?

Hi,

Basically I was going the same route as with this message:

  pr_debug_ratelimited("%s/%s: Unsupported SCSI Opcode 0x%02x, sending CHECK_CONDITION.\n"

IMO it's kinda the same situation. I'm not sure that not implemented VPD
will be of any interest to anyone except for the developers.

Also if I recall correctly pr_err_once() will be triggered once per code
line, not per message, so it's possible to actually lose the info if
more that one page is not implemented.

Applied to 5.19/scsi-queue, thanks!
