From: Jakub Staniszewski <jakub.staniszewski@intel.com>

Correct the logic in ndo_fdb_del() to align with other drivers in
upstream. The condition was inverted — it was rejecting permanent
(NUD_PERMANENT) MAC addresses while allowing non-permanent ones to be
deleted, which is the opposite of the intended behavior.

The correct logic is to reject deletion of non-permanent entries,
mirroring the fix applied to ndo_dflt_fdb_del() in commit 645359930231
("rtnetlink: Fix inverted check in ndo_dflt_fdb_del()").

Also add is_link_local_ether_addr() to the unicast branch of
ice_fdb_del() to mirror ice_fdb_add(), which already handles link-local
addresses as unicast via dev_uc_add_excl(). Without this, a link-local
address added via ice_fdb_add() would fall through to dev_mc_del() on
deletion and fail to be removed.
