    sys/rpc: UNIX auth: Do not log on bogus AUTH_SYS messages
    
    Remove the printf() stances added in commit d4cc791f3b2e ("sys/rpc: UNIX
    auth: Fix OOB reads on too short message").
    
    Even if it can be helpful to know why an authentication message is
    rejected, printing explanatory messages on each request attempt is
    a remote log filler that could be triggered by accident, and the generic
    RPC code generally does not do that.  These printf() calls should be
    restored only after some limiting or configuration mechanism is devised.
