Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] bnxt_en: Remove unused field "ref_count" in struct bnxt_ulp

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@...adcom.com>

The "ref_count" field in struct bnxt_ulp is unused after
commit a43c26fa2e6c ("RDMA/bnxt_re: Remove the sriov config callback").
So we can just remove it now.
