PCI: endpoint: Fix configfs group list head handling

Doing a list_del() on the epf_group field of struct pci_epf_driver in pci_epf_remove_cfs() is not correct as this field is a list head, not a list entry. This list_del() call triggers a KASAN warning when an endpoint function driver which has a configfs attribute group is torn down:

Remove this incorrect list_del() call from pci_epf_remove_cfs().
