Subject: [PATCH] init: Drop initcall level output

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

9fb48c744ba6a ("params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback
signature") added similar lines to dmesg:

initlevel:0=early, 4 registered initcalls
initlevel:1=core, 31 registered initcalls
initlevel:2=postcore, 11 registered initcalls
initlevel:3=arch, 7 registered initcalls
initlevel:4=subsys, 40 registered initcalls
initlevel:5=fs, 30 registered initcalls
initlevel:6=device, 250 registered initcalls
initlevel:7=late, 35 registered initcalls

but they don't contain any info for the general user staring at dmesg.
I'm very doubtful the count of initcalls registered per level helps
anyone so drop that output completely.
