libdm-stats: fix dm_stats_delete_region() performance

Fix a silly bug in dm_stats_delete_region() that hugely inflates
runtimes when deleting a large number of regions.

For ~50,000 regions this change reduces the runtime from 98s to
6s on my test systems (a ~93% reduction).

The bug exists because dm_stats_delete_region() applies a truth
test to the return value of dm_stats_get_nr_areas(); this is
never correct usage - it will walk the entire region table and
calculate area counts for each region (which is roughly O(n^2)
in the number of regions, as dm_stats_delete_region() is being
called inside a region walk).

Although the individual area calculation is not that costly,
uselessly running anything 2,500,000,000 times over gets a bit
slow.

A much cheaper test (which is always true if the areas check is
true) is to just test dm_stats_get_nr_regions() or dms->regions;
if either is true it implies at least one area exists.
