[PATCH 2/2] ice: remove redundant switchdev check in ice_eswitch_attach_vf()

All callers of ice_eswitch_attach_vf() check the switchdev mode before
calling the function, the internal switchdev mode check in
ice_eswitch_attach_vf() is redundant. Remove this check to align with
the design pattern used for ice_eswitch_attach_sf(), where the caller is
responsible for checking switchdev mode before attachment.
