Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] Silence noisy per-device cciss messages

Currently cciss logs a message each time cciss_read_capacity_16 is called:

kernel: cciss 0000:03:00.0:       blocks= 5274326576 block_size= 512

This generates considerable log noise. An identical message was deleted 
from cciss_read_capacity in 2009.

This patch mirrors the change made to cciss_read_capacity in commit
983333c. Emitting device and block size information at KERN_INFO on
each read_capacity() leads to a lot of log noise.
