allow.auto.create.topics": "false" for producer gives misleading warning

Description

While trying to workaround the auto-created topic when using GetMetadata() with the admin client, I found help in this issue: #726 The solution was to set the default for the underlying producer to "false": "allow.auto.create.topics": "false"

This works (tnx for documenting it in #726) but I get the following warning which is obviously wrong: %4|1652854065.186|CONFWARN|rdkafka#producer-1| [thrd:app]: Configuration property allow.auto.create.topics is a consumer property and will be ignored by this producer instance

In fact the config did work and was not ignored. I could verify that since no topic was created when fetching with GetMetadata()

How to reproduce

// outputs %4|1652854065.186|CONFWARN|rdkafka#producer-1| [thrd:app]: Configuration property allow.auto.create.topics is a consumer property and will be ignored by this producer instance
func myfunc()  {
	a, err := confkafka.NewAdminClient(&confkafka.ConfigMap{
		"bootstrap.servers":        config.BrokerAddress,
		"allow.auto.create.topics": "false",
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create Admin client: %v", err)
	}
	defer a.Close()
}
