[PATCH 6/7] net/ice: fix stale profile after L2TPv2 subtype change

After a rule is destroyed, the HW profile for that ptype persists.
If a new rule with the same ptype but a different L2TPv2 subtype is
created (e.g. data then data_l), the old profile is reused via -EEXIST
with stale field extraction offsets. Since data and data_l have
session_id at different byte offsets, the NIC matches on the wrong
field and packets with mismatched session_id incorrectly hit the rule.
Remove the HW profile in ice_fdir_destroy_filter when the last
filter for a given ptype is destroyed so the next rule creates a fresh
profile with the correct offsets.
