HBASE-28408 Rephrase confusing log message (#5718)

Assume a user has a series of backups: Full1, Inc2, Inc3, where a table has not changed between Full1 and Inc3, but has changed after Inc3. When restoring that table to Inc3, a log warning was outputted mentioning there was no need for a restore. This message in fact means there is no need for the incremental restore portion of the restore process. Signed-off-by: Nihal Jain <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit 102c1b6)
