[PATCH 4/4] module: reduce already_uses pr_debug verbosity

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Thu May 06 2021 - 00:01:59 EST


already_uses() is unnecessarily chatty. For example,
`modprobe i915` yields 491 messages like:

[ 64.108744] i915 uses drm!

This is a normal situation, and isn't worth all the log entries. The
!found pr_debug is kept, its more of an exceptional condition, and
seems worth a pr_debug. I haven't seen it happen.
