Remove a workaround for a bug

I don't think it is necessary anymore. As I understand it from issue
39504 the original problem was that rustbuild changed a hardlink in the
cargo build dir to point to copy in the sysroot while cargo may have
hardlinked it to the original first. I don't think this happens anymore
and as such this workaround is no longer necessary.
