This one, I suppose

(defun hide-minibuffer-scrollbar (frame)
  (with-selected-frame frame
    (set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) 0 nil)))

(if (daemonp)
    (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions #'hide-minibuffer-scrollbar) ; Only 
for client sessions
  (set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) 0 nil))

Since I never use emacsclient I can't tell and have no idea how this
is supposed to work.  It could be caused by this part in minibuf.c

  if ((noninteractive
       /* In case we are running as a daemon, only do this before
          detaching from the terminal.  */
       || (IS_DAEMON && DAEMON_RUNNING))
      && NILP (Vexecuting_kbd_macro))
    {
      val = read_minibuf_noninteractive (prompt, expflag, defalt);
      return unbind_to (count, val);
    }

which avoids saving and restoring the window configuration and thus
removing the scroll bar when restoring.

Maybe someone else can clarify how this is supposed to work.

In a normal session the scroll bar gets removed after M-x is done so
apparently restoring the old window configuration also removes the
scroll bar.
