Subject: [PATCH] fs_parse: Remove pr_notice() about each validation

This notice fills my boot logs with scary-looking asterisks but doesn't
really tell me anything. Let's just remove it; validation errors
are already reported separately, so this is just a redundant list of
filesystems.

$ dmesg | grep VALIDATE

[    0.307422] *** VALIDATE proc ***
[    0.308355] *** VALIDATE cgroup ***
