Subject: net/mlx5e: Fix traffic being dropped on VF representor

From: Roi Dayan <roid@mellanox.com>


[ Upstream commit 4246f698dd58e3c6246fa919ef0b0a1d29a57e4a ]

Increase representor netdev RQ size to avoid dropped packets.
The current size (two) is just too small to keep up with
conventional slow path traffic patterns.
Also match the SQ size to the RQ size.
