um: Remove unsafe printks from the io thread
Printk out of the io thread has been proven to be unsafe. This is not surprising as the thread is part of the UML hypervisor code. It is not supposed to invoke any kernel code/resources. It is necesssary to pass the error to the block IO layer and let it Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
