Remove overzealous assertion from PHJ.

We can't assert that we're the only process attached to a barrier after
BarrierArriveAndDetachExceptLast().  Although that'll be true almost
always, a late-starting parallel worker can attach very briefly (that
is, immediately detach after checking the phase) right at that moment.
BarrierArriveAndDetachExceptLast() already contains an assertion like
that, but it holds a spinlock preventing the race.  This thinko caused a
one-off failure on build farm animal chimaera.
