A use-after-free error popped up in stress testing:

[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free write in pdsc_auxbus_dev_del+0xef/0x160 [pds_core]

The actual device uninit usually happens on a separate thread
scheduled after this code runs, but there is no guarantee of order
of thread execution, so this could be a problem.  There's no
actual need to clear the client_id at this point, so simply
remove the offending code.

Fixes: 10659034c622 ("pds_core: add the aux client API")
