(1) the subject line talks about removing a "comment" but you're
    actually removing an error printk
(2) I don't think it's "not helping anyone", although the description
    above doesn't say _why_ - it's reporting the lack of a missing CPU
    device that we expect to be present.  If it's not present, then
    we're not going to end up with the cpu capacity attribute, and the
    error message answers the "why is that sysfs file missing" question.

I think a better commit message is needed for this change.
