Issue #26186: Remove an invalid type check in

importlib.util.LazyLoader.

The class was checking its argument as to whether its implementation
of create_module() came directly from importlib.abc.Loader. The
problem is that the classes coming from imoprtlib.machinery do not
directly inherit from the ABC as they come from _frozen_importlib.
Because the documentation has always said that create_module() was
ignored, the check has simply been removed.
