[PATCH net-next v2] net: mana: Set default number of queues to 16

[Long Li]

Set the default number of queues per vPort to MANA_DEF_NUM_QUEUES (16),
as 16 queues can achieve optimal throughput for typical workloads. The
actual number of queues may be lower if it exceeds the hardware reported
limit. Users can increase the number of queues up to max_queues via
ethtool if needed.

v2:
  - Updated commit message to clarify that the actual number of queues
    may be lower if it exceeds the hardware reported limit.
