Subject: [PATCH net] devlink: Remove extra assertion from flash notification logic

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...dia.com>

The mlxsw driver calls to various devlink flash routines even before
users can get any access to the devlink instance itself. For example,
mlxsw_core_fw_rev_validate() one of such functions.

It causes to the WARN_ON to trigger warning about devlink not
registered, while the flow is valid.

Fixes: cf530217408e ("devlink: Notify users when objects are accessible")
