PATCH v2 1/1 drivers/base: Remove unnecessary OOM message

This patch reduces the kernel size by removing error messages that duplicate the normal OOM message.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)

@@
identifier f,print,l;
expression e;
constant char[] c;
@@

e = \(kzalloc\|kmalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|devm_kmalloc\)(...); if (e == NULL) {
<+...
- print(...,c,...);
... when any
(
goto l;
|
return ...;
)
...+> }

---
This post http://lwn.net/Articles/627419/ points out that the messages will not be printed anyway. That being said it also explains that introducing a low-order memory-allocation failures would result in a better kernel. Although it is unlikely to change, I wasn't sure whether or not it should be mentionned in the commit message.
