The 'struct ionic' has a 'nrxqs_per_lif' field. So use it instead of
using two times the value of 'ntxqs_per_lif'.
Note that with the current implementation, this patch is a no-op because
both fields are set to the same value in 'ionic_lifs_size()' which
is called before reaching 'ionic_lif_alloc()'.
However, it is more future-proof.

Another alternative could be to use 'alloc_etherdev_mq()' if really using
the same value for both fields is what is expected.

Even though the NIC configuration seems to allow for different values,
the rest of the driver assumes that the values are equal and things will
likely break if they aren't. This is why the ethtool service
ionic_set_channels() only allows the user to change the Combined value,
and not the individual rx or tx values.
If you really want to tweak this, a better change might be to use the
min of ntxqs and nrxqs, and maybe add a warning log message that they
are configured with different values.
