There was a wrong queues representation in sysfs during driver's reinitialization in case of online cpus number is less than combined queues. It was caused by stopped NetworkManager, which is responsible for calling vsi_open function during driver's initialization. In specific situation (ex. 12 cpus online) there were 16 queues in /sys/class/net/<iface>/queues. In case of modifying queues with value higher, than number of online cpus, then it caused write errors and other errors. Add updating of sysfs's queues representation during driver initialization.
