usb: gadget: f_fs: Remove WARN_ON in functionfs_bind

This commit addresses an issue related to below kernel panic where
panic_on_warn is enabled. It is caused by the unnecessary use of WARN_ON
in functionsfs_bind, which easily leads to the following scenarios.

1.adb_write in adbd               2. UDC write via configfs

->open_functionfs()                        ->ffs_func_bind()
 ->adb_open()                               ->functionfs_bind()
                                       <ffs->state !=FFS_ACTIVE>

The adb_open, adb_read, and adb_write operations are invoked from the
daemon, but trying to bind the function is a process that is invoked by
UDC write through configfs, which opens up the possibility of a race
condition between the two paths. In this race scenario, the kernel panic
occurs due to the WARN_ON from functionfs_bind when panic_on_warn is
enabled. This commit fixes the kernel panic by removing the unnecessary
WARN_ON.
