Remove an unsafe assert in the log backend that could be triggered under very certain circumstances.

RFCI has detected this assert failing in the log_backend_test. I have not been able to reproduce this locally but my theory is the following one:
one of the unit tests does the following:

backend.start();
backend.stop();

the internal running_flag member could be set to true and then to false by the main thread before the worker thread calls do_work(). If this happens
the assert will be triggered, which is wrong and too conservative, so remove the assert.
