[PATCH] HPET: Remove spurious HPET busy warning message.

[PATCH] HPET: Remove spurious HPET busy warning message.

[David John]

On x86 systems with CONFIG_HPET_TIMER enabled
and the HPET driver (drivers/char/hpet.c) compiled in,
an incorrect busy message is printed when the driver
initializes since the HPET has already been allocated
by the core timer code. Remove the warning message.

[Venki Pallipadi]

Yes. This printk is not adding much value and tend to get people confused
making them think that it is some sort of error. It will be good to get rid
of them.

Ingo: Can you pick this patch up into tip?

Thanks,
Venki
