[PATCH v2 2/2] net/bnxt: fix MAC address removal

MAC addresses removal was tied with VMDq pools even when not used.
So if VMDq is not enabled, no address would be ever removed.

Fixes: 9de506a6c781 ("ethdev: skip VMDq pools unless configured")

I could not test the change as I don't have this NIC.

Probably worth squashing in 9de506a6c781 before pulling to main
