Remove an assertion in 3 related functions.

The assertion gets in the way of the following commit because it tests
a condition that at the time when we want to call this function is not
yet satisfied. However, I've convinced myself that if the DoFHandler
is truly not set up at all (as the assertion wants to check), that
the calls further down in the function will fail to work as well. In
other words, one will get *some* kind of error.
