acl-plugin: assertion failed at hash_lookup.c:226 when modifying ACLs applied as part of many (VPP-910)

change 7385 has added the code which has the first ACE's "prev" entry within the linked list of
shadowed ACEs pointing to the last ACE, in order to avoid the frequent linear list traversal.
That change was not complete and did not update this "prev" entry whenever the last ACE was deleted.
As a result the changes within the applied ACLs which caused the calls to hash_acl_unapply/hash_acl_apply
may result in hitting assert which does the sanity check. The solution is to add the missing update logic.
