Subject: [PATCH 4.14 050/146] ALSA: hda: Drop useless WARN_ON()

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit a36c2638380c0a4676647a1f553b70b20d3ebce1 upstream.

Since the commit 97cc2ed27e5a ("ALSA: hda - Fix yet another i915
pointer leftover in error path") cleared hdac_acomp pointer, the
WARN_ON() non-NULL check in snd_hdac_i915_register_notifier() may give
a false-positive warning, as the function gets called no matter
whether the component is registered or not.  For fixing it, let's get
rid of the spurious WARN_ON().
