[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] ixgbe: take online CPU number as MQ max limit when alloc_etherdev_mq()

[Ethan Zhao]

Allocating 64 Tx/Rx as default doesn't benefit perfomrnace when less
CPUs were assigned. especially when DCB is enabled, so we should take
num_online_cpus() as top limit, and aslo to make sure every TC has
at least one queue, take the MAX_TRAFFIC_CLASS as bottom limit of queues
number.
