[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.12] net/mlx5: HWS, Handle destroying table that has a miss table

From: Yevgeny Kliteynik <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 60e9e82f162ab7399373ff2185119289e4f6dc06 ]

If a table has a miss table that was created by
'mlx5hws_table_set_default_miss' API function, its miss_tbl
keeps the table that points to it in a list.
If such table is deleted, we need to also remove it from the
miss_tbl list, otherwise the node in miss_tbl list will contain
garbage.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The background `b4 dig` run finished without useful results: looking up
the wrong commit (`5d324e5159d9e`, the USB merge) found no lore match,
and the subject-line search failed because `b4 dig` doesn’t accept a
patch title as a positional argument.

That doesn’t change the earlier conclusion. The patch content and review
context came from the local mbox
(`20260507_tariqt_net_mlx5_steering_misc_enhancements.mbx`), and the
backport recommendation for this 6.18.43 tree remains **YES**.
