Revert "element: Enforce that elements created by gst_element_factory_create/make() are floating"

See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/merge_requests/333

The reference we receive when calling g_object_new should be
floating, but we can't force it at our level.

This reverts commit ce43de86902c4e9c8ed4e9682602664cb9bce2ee.
