[PATCH] common/cnxk: fix duplicate mbox alloc in NPA aura pool init

npa_aura_pool_init() allocates the pool init mbox message twice on
non-CN20K platforms. The if/else block at line 106-111 allocates via
the model-specific branch, but the original unconditional allocation
at line 112 was not removed when the CN20K branch was added. This
overwrites pool_init_req, and the orphaned first message is sent to
the AF with uninitialized aura_id, ctype, and op fields, which can
trigger any undesired behavior on CN10K.

Remove the duplicate allocation.
