Commit 088984c8d54c ("ACPI: PRM: Find EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME block for PRM
handler and context") introduces non-essential printing "Failed to find
VA for GUID: xxxx, PA: 0x0" which causes unnecessary worry for regular
users.

Refer to PRM Spec Section 4.1.2[1], both static data buffer address
and ACPI parameter buffer address may be NULL if they are not needed.
So there is no need to print out "Failed to find VA ... " to intimidate
regular users.

I think that the message should still be printed in the other cases if
the physical address passed to efi_pa_va_lookup() is nonzero and the
lookup fails.
