net: mana: swap queue sets in mana_set_ringparam

Convert the ring size path to pre-allocate and swap, for the same reasons
as the channel count path. An allocation failure returns the error with
the running configuration untouched, and the vport is never released.

[Severity: High]
Does this code use apc->channel_changing as an ad-hoc lock?

Since this flag is set on entry and cleared on exit to prevent concurrent
RDMA vport access, could we use a proper synchronization primitive here instead
of a boolean flag?

[Severity: High]
By pre-allocating a complete new queue set alongside the existing one, does
this require twice as many MSI-X vectors simultaneously?

If the system is already fully utilizing its vectors, could mana_create_eq()
fail to acquire vectors from the MSI-X pool, causing the ring parameter
changes to reliably fail with -ENOSPC?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this code cause a loss of the custom RSS
indirection table?

During mana_alloc_qset(), mana_rss_table_init() is called, which unconditionally
overwrites the indirection table with default round-robin values. If a user
has configured a custom RSS indirection table, will those settings be
irrevocably destroyed here?
