[PATCH] driver core: Don't log intentional skip of device link creation as error

["Nícolas F. R. A. Prado" <nfraprado@collabora.com>]

Commit ac66c5bbb437 ("driver core: Allow only unprobed consumers for
SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links") introduced an early return in
device_link_add() to prevent useless links from being created. However
the calling function fw_devlink_create_devlink() unconditionally prints
an error if device_link_add() didn't create a link, even in this case
where it is intentionally skipping the link creation.

Add a check to detect if the link wasn't created intentionally and in
that case don't log an error.
