Rectify a log spew in vmsvc logging (vmware-vmsvc-root.log)

When a LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller sits in PCI bus 0
(SCSI controller 0), the Linux disk device enumeration does not provide
a "label" file with the controller name.  This results in messages like

'GuestInfoGetDiskDevice: Missing disk device name; VMDK mapping
unavailable for "/var/log", fsName: "/dev/sda2"'

repeatedly appearing in the vmsvc logging.  The patch converts what
previously was a warning message to a debug message and thus avoids
the log spew.

This patch has been made available for open-vm-tools 11.0.x on the
open-vm-tools github repo.
