[IPV4]: Remove unnecessary test for the loopback device from inetdev_destroy
Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so
it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback
device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary.
Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing
unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works
fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the
loopback device.
