[PATCH] drop_caches: Allow re-enabling message after disabling

[Joel Granados]

After writing "4" to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches there was no way to
re-enable the drop_caches kernel message. By removing the "or" logic for
the stfu variable in drop_cache_sysctl_handler, it is now possible to
toggle the message on and off by setting the 4th bit in
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.
