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.
