Not a huge fan of doing it like this, it'll just add a bunch of noise to
the dmesg output that people will ignore. It doesn't bring us closer to
being able to remove the option.

I think we should just let it die over time. This will happen naturally
since the blk-mq scheduling framework does not support it. Once we have
everything converted, the option will end up doing nothing. Then we can
eventually kill it.
