[PATCH v5 1/5] staging: unisys: remove redundant variable

[Sudip Mukherjee]

remove the variable "registered", which was used in the cleanup() to
detect if the driver has successfully initialized. the cleanup()
is called from module_exit, so its obvious that the module has
successfully initialized. if the initialization had failed, then
we will never be in the cleanup().
