I will do this. Thanks.

The datasheet isn't clear on what would cause a failed allocation, but
we're trying to keep the SW structures in sync with HW.

Since this is used for table and action-pair calls, the reason we have
the union and reserved value is to make it explicit that for action-
pair calls, nothing is to be written and to clearly differentiate the
fields that should be set for table alloc/dealloc and those for
act_pair alloc/dealloc.

I will remove the flag check. If the table deallocation fails, there
isn't much we can do to resolve it. I'll use the return value from
ice_acl_destroy_tbl() and add a warning to inform the user of an issue.
