serial: drop debugging WARN_ON_ONCE() from uart_put_char()

Browse Source 
Pengfei Xu reports, that the -next commit 1788cf6a91 (tty: serial:
switch from circ_buf to kfifo) tries to emit a WARNING and that leads to
lockdep errors. Obviously we cannot print anything from uart_put_char()!

This WARN_ON_ONCE() was/is a debug aid to check if the condition in
uart_put_char() can happen at all. Pengfei Xu confirmed it can. Unlike
me and kbuild bot in my queue.

Second, I completely forgot about it, so I did not remove it in the
final version, nor mentioned it in the commit log.

Drop it now as we are all good. And we even have stack traces (and a
reproducer)!
