stress-ng writes all outputs to stderr

[Serhii Ovsianikov]

Hi,

stress-ng writes all outputs to stderr.

Test:
root@debian:~# stress-ng --cpu 1 --timeout 3 >info.txt 2>err.txt
Expected result: successful command execution should be recorded to the info.txt
Actual result: successful command execution recorded to the err.txt file

root@debian:~# stress-ng --cpu 1 --timeout 3 >info.txt 2>err.txt
root@debian:~# ls -al *.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106 Apr 29 08:14 err.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 29 08:14 info.txt
root@debian:~# cat err.txt
stress-ng: info: [591] dispatching hogs: 1 cpu
stress-ng: info: [591] successful run completed in 3.00s

root@debian:~# stress-ng --cpu badcpu --timeout 3 >info.txt 2>err.txt
root@debian:~# ls -al *.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 Apr 29 08:15 err.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 29 08:15 info.txt
root@debian:~# cat err.txt
Value badcpu contains non-numeric: 'badcpu'
