Akinobu Mita b329becfc7 char: add WARN_ON() in misc_deregister()
misc_deregister() returns an error only when it attempts to unregister
the device that is not registered. This is the driver's bug.

Most of the drivers don't check the return value of misc_deregister().
(It is not bad thing because most of kernel *_unregister() API always
succeed and do not return value)

So it is better to indicate the error by WARN_ON() in misc_deregister().
