Subject: [PATCH v2] bnx2: remove deadcode in bnx2_init_cpus()

The load_cpu_fw function has no error return code
and always returns zero. Checking the value returned by
this function does not make sense.
As a result, bnx2_init_cpus() will also return only zero
Therefore, it will be safe to change the type of functions
to void and remove checking

Found by Security Code and Linux Verification
Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE

Fixes: 57579f7629a3 ("bnx2: Use request_firmware()")

changes v2:
- bnx2_init_cpu_fw() and bnx2_init_cpus() are void
- delete casts to void
- remove check of bnx2_init_cpus() in bnx2_init_chip()
