Subject: xen-netfront: respect user provided max_queues
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>
[ Upstream commit 32a844056fd43dda647e1c3c6b9983bdfa04d17d ]
Originally that parameter was always reset to num_online_cpus during
module initialisation, which renders it useless.
The fix is to only set max_queues to num_online_cpus when user has not
provided a value.
