hw/virtio/virtio-pmem: Replace impossible check by assertion

The get_memory_region() handler is used when (un)plugging the
device, which can only occur *after* it is realized.

virtio_pmem_realize() ensure the instance can not be realized
without 'memdev'. Remove the superfluous check, replacing it
by an assertion.
