[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.
