[PATCH] floppy: revert floppy disable halt warning

[Stephen Hemminger]

Remove the stupid floppy disable halt warning. It is meaningless since
the API is local to floppy driver.  Our boot scripts check for the
floppy drive, and this causes the warning to trigger every time. This
confuses support, breaks automated tests that look for backtraces on
boot,  and adds no value.  

The message is being displayed to the wrong audience, it looks like it
was intended as a compromise of a long discussion on LKML about
supporting older x86 hardware; but users don't know or understand what
it is saying.

If you want to change halt handling then just fix
the floppy driver, don't whine about it.
