Subject: [PATCH] i40e: add validation for ring_len param

The `ring_len` parameter provided by the virtual function (VF)
is assigned directly to the hardware memory context (HMC) without
any validation.

To address this, introduce an upper boundary check for both Tx and Rx
queue lengths. The maximum number of descriptors supported by the
hardware is 8k-32.
Additionally, enforce alignment constraints: Tx rings must be a multiple
of 8, and Rx rings must be a multiple of 32.

[PATCH 5.4.y 1/2] i40e: increase max descriptors for XL710

[Sasha Levin]

From: Justin Bronder <jsbronder@cold-front.org>

[ Upstream commit aa6908ca3bd1e713fd6cd8d7193a008f060bf7d9 ]

In Tables 8-12 and 8-22 in the X710/XXV710/XL710 datasheet, the QLEN
description states that the maximum size of the descriptor queue is 8k
minus 32, or 8160.
