misc: remove ineffective WARN_ON() check from misc_deregister()
The WARN_ON(list_empty(&misc->list)) in misc_deregister() does
not catch any practical error conditions:
- For statically allocated miscdevice structures, the list pointers
are zero-initialized, so list_empty() returns false, not true.
- After list_del(), the pointers are set to LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2,
so repeated deregistration also fails to trigger the check.
