usbip: tools: add hint when no exported devices are found
When refresh_exported_devices() finds no devices, it's helpful to inform users about potential causes. This could be due to: 1. The usbip driver module is not loaded. 2. No devices have been exported yet. Add an informational message to guide users when ndevs == 0. Also update the condition in usbip_host_driver_open() and usbip_device_driver_open() to check both ret and ndevs == 0, and change err() to info(). Message visibility by scenario: - usbipd (console mode): Show on console/serial, this allows instant visibility for debugging. - usbipd -D (daemon mode): Message logged to syslog, can keep logs for later traceability in production. Also can use "journalctl -f" to trace on console.
