Subject: iio: magnetometer: ak8974: remove incorrect __exit markups

From: Dmitry Torokhov <[email protected]>

commit 3ff861f59f6c1f5bf2bc03d2cd36ac3f992cbc06 upstream.

Even if bus is not hot-pluggable, devices can be unbound from the driver via sysfs, so we should not be using __exit annotations on remove() methods. The only exception is drivers registered with platform_driver_probe() which specifically disables sysfs bind/unbind attributes.
