mctp: Remove device type check at unregister
[ Upstream commit b389a902dd5be4ece505a2e0463b9b034de04bf5 ]
The unregister check could be incorrectly triggered if a netdev
changes its type after register. That is possible for a tun device
using TUNSETLINK ioctl, resulting in mctp unregister failing
and the netdev unregister waiting forever.
This was encountered by https://github.com/openthread/openthread/issues/8523
Neither check at register or unregister is required. They were added in
an attempt to track down mctp_ptr being set unexpectedly, which should
not happen in normal operation.
Fixes: 7b1871af75f3 ("mctp: Warn if pointer is set for a wrong dev type")
