already_uses() is unnecessarily chatty. `modprobe i915` yields 491 messages like: [ 64.108744] i915 uses drm! This is a normal situation, and isn't worth all the log entries. NOTE: I've preserved the "does not use %s" messages, which happens less often, but does happen. Its not clear to me what it tells a reader, or what info might improve the pr_debug's utility.
