nfp: refactor nfp_app_reprs_set

The criteria that reprs cannot be replaced with another new set of reprs
has been removed. This check is not needed since the only use case that
could exercise this at the moment, would be to modify the number of
SRIOV VFs without first disabling them. This case is explicitly
disallowed in any case and subsequent patches in this series
need to be able to replace the running set of reprs.

All cases where the return code used to be checked for the
nfp_app_reprs_set function have been removed.
As stated above, it is not possible for the current code to encounter a
case where reprs exist and need to be replaced.
