IB/IPoIB: Fix queue count inconsistency for PKEY child interfaces
[ Upstream commit dbc94a0fb81771a38733c0e8f2ea8c4fa6934dc1 ]
There are 2 ways to create IPoIB PKEY child interfaces:
1) Writing a PKEY to /sys/class/net/<ib parent interface>/create_child.
2) Using netlink with iproute.
While with sysfs the child interface has the same number of tx and
rx queues as the parent, with netlink there will always be 1 tx
and 1 rx queue for the child interface. That's because the
get_num_tx/rx_queues() netlink ops are missing and the default value
of 1 is taken for the number of queues (in rtnl_create_link()).
This change adds the get_num_tx/rx_queues() ops which allows for
interfaces with multiple queues to be created over netlink. This
constant only represents the max number of tx and rx queues on that
net device.
