btrfs: remove impossible WARN_ON in btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev()

Browse Source 
We have a user report, that cppcheck is complaining about a possible
NULL-pointer dereference in btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev().

We're first dereferencing the 'tgtdev' variable and the later check for
the validity of the pointer with a WARN_ON(!tgtdev);

But all callers of btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev() either explicitly
check if 'tgtdev' is non-NULL or directly allocate 'tgtdev', so the
WARN_ON() is impossible to hit. Just remove it to silence the checker's
complains.
