As part of the normal initiator side scanning the guest's scsi layer
will loop over all possible targets and send an inquiry. Since the
max number of targets for virtio-scsi is 256, this results in 255
error messages about targets not existing. When there's more than 1
vhost-scsi device, then you get N * 255 log messages.
It looks like the log message was added by accident in:
commit 09d7583294aa ("vhost/scsi: Use common handling code in request
queue handler")
The patch was just making some coce common but added the vq_err call
and I'm guessing the patch author forgot to enable the vq_err call
(vq_err is implemented by pr_debug which defaults to off). So this
patch removes the call since it's expected to hit this path during
device discovery.
