[PATCH net-next 08/32] sfc: Set default parallelism to per-core by default

[Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>]

The previous default of per-package can be more CPU-efficient, but
users generally seem to prefer per-core.  It should also allow
accelerated RFS to direct packets more precisely, if IRQ affinity
is properly spread out.
