[PATCH 1/4] ibmvfc: Remove "failed" from logged errors

The text of messages logged with ibmvfc_log_error() always contain
the term "failed". In the case of cancelled commands during EH they
are reported back by the VIOS using error codes. This can be
confusing to somebody looking at these log messages as to whether
a command was successfully cancelled. The following real log
message for example it is unclear if the transaction was actaully
cancelled.

<6>sd 0:0:1:1: Cancelling outstanding commands.
<3>sd 0:0:1:1: [sde] Command (28) failed: transaction cancelled (2:6) flags: 0 fcp_rsp: 0, resid=0, scsi_status: 0

Remove prefixing of "failed" to all error logged messages. The
ibmvfc_log_error() function translates the returned error/status
codes to a human readable message already.
