we got a few reports of kernel-output drawing over the TUI-installer.
(e.g. when ZFS loads for the pool-cleanup, also mkfs.xfs sometimes
triggers a message being printed).
As the information gets logged in the kernel ringbuffer (`dmesg`)
anyways, there's little gain on having it displayed on the console in
addition.
following https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt
and
https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/managing_monitoring_and_updating_the_kernel/getting-started-with-kernel-logging_managing-monitoring-and-updating-the-kernel
simply set the sysctl to log only messages of level warn and above to
the console.
Tested in a VM, where I manually ran the command before starting the
TUI installer (and selecting XFS as filesystem there). without it the
messages got displayed, with the command they did not.

as it's a cosmetic issue I would not pull it in late in the release cycle.
Sending it nonetheless now, in order not to forget it.
