Subject: tools/helpers: don't log errors when trying to load PVH xenstore-stubdom

When loading a Xenstore stubdom the loader doesn't know whether the
lo be loaded kernel is a PVH or a PV one. So it tries to load it as
a PVH one first, and if this fails it is loading it as a PV kernel.

This results in errors being logged in case the stubdom is a PV kernel.

Suppress those errors by setting the minimum logging level to
"critical" while trying to load the kernel as PVH.

In case PVH mode and PV mode loading fails, retry PVH mode loading
without changing the log level in order to get the error messages
logged.
