Subject: [net-next 3/3] e1000: remove unused and incorrect code

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

The e1000_clear_vfta function was triggering a warning in kbuild-bot
testing. It's actually a bug but has no functional impact.

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000_hw.c:4415:58: warning: Same expression in both branches of ternary operator. [duplicateExpressionTernary]

Fix this warning by removing the offending code and simplifying
the routine to do exactly what it did before, no functional
change.
