avutil/utils: Remove racy check from avutil_version()

avutil_version() currently performs several checks before
just returning the version. There is a static int that aims
to ensure that these tests are run only once. The reason is that
there used to be a slightly expensive check, but it has been removed
in 92e3a6fdac73f7e1d69d69717219a7538877d7a0. Today running only
once is unnecessary and can be counterproductive: GCC 10 optimizes
all the actual checks away, but the checks_done variable and the code
setting it has been kept. Given that this check is inherently racy
(it uses non-atomic variables), it is best to just remove it.
