Matt Johnston b389a902dd mctp: Remove device type check at unregister
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.
