Subject: rpc : fix misleading error log (llama/21184)
X-Git-Tag: v0.9.10~15

rpc : fix misleading error log (llama/21184)

When RPC is running with a remote backend which doesn't have init_tensor
function (like CPU and Metal), the server log gets full with error
messages saying that init_tensor is being called with null buffer which
is incorrect. This patch fixes this.
