Delete KVM's printk about KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR not being called. When the printk was added by commit776e58ea3d("KVM: unbreak userspace that does not sets tss address"), KVM also stuffed a "hopefully safe" value, i.e. the message wasn't purely informational. For reasons unknown, ostensibly to try and help people running outdated qemu-kvm versions, the message got left behind when KVM's stuffing was removed by commit4918c6ca68("KVM: VMX: Require KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR being called prior to running a VCPU"). Today, the message is completely nonsensical, as it has been over a decade since KVM supported userspace running a Real Mode guest, on a CPU without unrestricted guest support, without doing KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR before KVM_RUN. I.e. KVM's ABI has required KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR for 10+ years. To make matters worse, the message is prone to false positives as it triggers when simply *creating* a vCPU due to RESET putting vCPUs into Real Mode, even when the user has no intention of ever *running* the vCPU in a Real Mode. E.g. KVM selftests stuff 64-bit mode and never touch Real Mode, but trigger the message even though they run just fine without doing KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR. Creating "dummy" vCPUs, e.g. to probe features, can also trigger the message. In both scenarios, the message confuses users and falsely implies that they've done something wrong.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
