nfp: flower-ct: remove callback delete deadlock
The current location of the callback delete can lead to a race condition where deleting the callback requires a write_lock on the nf_table, but at the same time another thread from netfilter could have taken a read lock on the table before trying to offload. Since the driver is taking a rtnl_lock this can lead into a deadlock situation, where the netfilter offload will wait for the cls_flower rtnl_lock to be released, but this cannot happen since this is waiting for the nf_table read_lock to be released before it can delete the callback. Solve this by completely removing the nf_flow_table_offload_del_cb call, as this will now be cleaned up by act_ct itself when cleaning up the specific nf_table.
