[PATCH 02/23] interconnect: fix icc_provider_del() error handling

The interconnect framework currently expects that providers are only
removed when there are no users and after all nodes have been removed.

There is currently nothing that guarantees this to be the case and the
framework does not do any reference counting, but refusing to remove the
provider is never correct as that would leave a dangling pointer to a
resource that is about to be released in the global provider list (e.g.
accessible through debugfs).

Replace the current sanity checks with WARN_ON() so that the provider is
always removed.
