Subject: [PATCH] efi/net: Print a debug message if parsing the address fails

Currently if parsing the address fails an error message is printed. But in
most cases this isn't a fatal error since the grub_efi_net_parse_address()
function is only used to match an address with a network interface to use.

And if this fails, the default interface is used which is good enough for
most cases. So instead of printing an error that would pollute the console
just print a debug message if the address is not parsed correctly.

A user can enable debug messages for the efinet driver to have information
about the failure and the fact that the default interface is being used.
