Replace rio_probe1() printk(KERN_INFO) messages with netdev_info().
Log rx_timeout on a separate line since netdev_info() prefixes each
message and the multi-line formatting looks broken otherwise.
No functional change intended.

This looks like a valid transformation, but drivers are not really
meant to spam the kernel log like this. So i would actually change
them to netdev_dbg() and add a comment in the commit message.

Thank you for the review.
I'll switch the printk() probe message to netdev_dbg() and add a note in
the commit message. I'll send v2.
