The ice_copy_rxq_ctx_to_hw() and ice_write_rxq_ctx() functions perform some
defensive checks which are typically frowned upon by kernel style
guidelines.

In particular, they perform NULL checks on buffers which are never expected
to be NULL. Both functions are only called once and always have valid
buffers pointing to stack memory. These checks only serve to hide potential
programming error, as we will not produce the normal crash dump on a NULL
access.

In addition, ice_copy_rxq_ctx_to_hw() cannot fail in another way, so could
be made void.

Future support for VF Live Migration will need to introduce an inverse
function for reading Rx queue context from HW registers to unpack it, as
well as functions to pack and unpack Tx queue context from HW.

Rather than copying these style issues into the new functions, lets first
cleanup the existing code.

For the ice_copy_rxq_ctx_to_hw() function:

 * Remove the NULL parameter check.
 * Move the Rx queue index check out of this function.
 * Convert the function to a void return.
 * Use a simple int variable instead of a u8 for the for loop index.
 * Use a local variable and array syntax to access the rxq_ctx.
 * Update the function description to better align with kernel doc style.

For the ice_write_rxq_ctx() function:

 * Use the more common '= {}' syntax for initializing the context buffer.
 * Move the Rx queue index check into this function.
 * Update the function description with a Returns: to align with kernel doc
   style.

These changes align the existing write functions to current kernel
style, and will align with the style of the new functions added when we
implement live migration in a future series.
