[PATCH] net/gve: fix redundant comparison of qpl_bufs with null

Memory allocation for qpl->mz and qpl->qpl_bufs occurs in the
gve_alloc_queue_page_list() function under the condition
if(is_rx) qpl_bufs = rte_zmalloc else mz = gve_alloc_using_mz.
Accordingly, if qpl->mz == NULL, then memory allocation
for qpl->qpl_bufs definitely occurred. That is, in line
gve_ethdev.c:127, an additional check if (qpl->qpl_bufs)
is not required.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
