Subject: [PATCH] nohz: remove "Switched to NOHz mode" debugging messages

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

When performing cpu hotplug tests the kernel printk log buffer gets flooded
with pointless "Switched to NOHz mode..." messages. Especially when afterwards
analyzing a dump this might have removed more interesting stuff out of the
buffer.
Assuming that switching to NOHz mode simply works just remove the printk.
