hwmon: Remove devm_hwmon_device_unregister() API function
devm_hwmon_device_unregister() has no in-tree user, and its implementation
is wrong since it does not pass the to-be-removed hardware monitoring
device as parameter. I do not envision a valid use for it; drivers needing
it should not have called devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() in the
first place. Remove it.
