[PATCH] x86-64: remove an inconsistent and redundant diagnostic

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich at suse dot com>]

Since the word to byte register conversion isn't active for x86-64
anyway, there's also no need to issue a separate, inconsistent
diagnostic in some of the cases - non-matching operands will be
complained about anyway.

2012-07-24  Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

	* config/tc-i386-intel.c (check_byte_reg): Check for I/O port
	register earlier, and just once. Drop diagnostic that got
	issued only for some registers.
