tools/lib/list_sort: remove redundant code for cond_resched handling

Browse source 
Since cond_resched() is not called in userspace, remove the redundant code
in userspace's list_sort() implementation.  This change eliminates the
unused 'count' variable and the associated logic for invoking cmp()
periodically, which was intended to trigger cond_resched() in kernel
space.

The removed code includes:
- Declaration and increment of the 'count' variable.
- Conditional invocation of cmp() based on 'count'.

This cleanup simplifies merge_final(), avoids unnecessary overhead, and
has no impact on the functionality of list_sort() in userspace.
