Subject: cxgb4: remove dead code when allocating filter
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
Git-commit: ad0bff0570727620840c4005992946cce1dff693
References: bsc#1097585 bsc#1097586 bsc#1097587 bsc#1097588 bsc#1097583 bsc#1097584

Error code is already returned earlier if filter exists
at specified location. So, remove dead code trying to
free existing filter.
