When CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES is enabled, an error message
is generated if no 'of_root' node is defined.

On DT-based systems, this cannot happen as a root DT node is
always present. On ACPI-based systems, this is not a true error
because a DT is not used.

Downgrade the pr_err() to pr_info().

If we're going to see this message in the normal course of events on
ACPI systems, I think maybe we should reword it so it assumes less
context.  "of_root node" is low-level technical detail that doesn't
even make sense to me without digging into the code.
