The kernel will crash when loading xdpdrv with more than 64 cores and
Intel X722. Last time I submitted the fix (commit: 4e39a072a), but it only
solves the similar issue if the machine has less than 64 cores.
Crash log:

[305798.086344] rtnl_newlink+0x72d/0x850
Here's how to reproduce:
1) prepare one machine shipped with more than 64 cores and Intel X722
10G.
2) # mount bpffs -t bpf /sys/fs/bpf
3) # ip link set dev eth01 xdpdrv obj ./bpf_xdp.o sec from-netdev
The reason is that the allocation of @rss_size_max is too large and then
affects the value of @vsi->alloc_queue_pairs which is 64. Later, if we
load the xdpdrv, it will reinit the vsi and assign double of the older
value to @alloc_queue_pairs which triggers the failure of finding the
lump.
We cannot simply add the limit of calculating @rss_size_max because
@pf->num_lan_qps will pick up the maximum (say, the number of cpus).
In fact, we don't need to allocate too many resources in accordance with
the number of cpus. It's limited by the hardware itself. So I introduce
the pseudo number of cpus to replace the real number to avoid the
unbalance.
After applying this feature, the machine with X722 nic will only use 64
cores no mather how large the number of cpus. The pseudo number
actually depends on @num_tx_qp.
