No. We already have pr_debug().

And having stopping tasks: ============== line does not seem that bad

adjust loglevels so that message is hidden.

...all the messages you modified should probably be fixed to be KERN_INFO...

This one definitely needs to stay, maybe should be promoted to
KERN_WARNING or something.
