The idea was to allow semi-dynamic adjustment.
Meaning that you could change the number of TX queues, but only in
some quiescent state, such as when the device is down or frozen while
up in some way.
dev->num_tx_queues tracks how many total were allocated. This is
necessary so that even if the real_num_tx_queues is modified while the
device is up, we can still see the correct statistics by gathering
from queues that are now disabled but were enabled beforehand.
