[OE-core] [PATCH] crond: remove UID check in init script

From: Jack Mitchell <jmitchell at cbnl.com>

this init script fails when the default shell is busybox sh. This
is because busybox sh doesn't set the UID. No other init scripts
in oecore feel the need to check the UID so just remove the check.
