ppdev: reduce kernel log spam 



One of my programs frequently grabs the parport, does something with it
and then drops it again. This results in spamming of the kernel log with

"... registered pardevice"
"... unregistered pardevice"

These messages are completely useless, except for debugging ppdev,
probably.  So put them under DEBUG (or dynamic debug).
