Subject: xen-netfront: update num_queues to real created
From: Joe Jin <joe.jin@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ca88ea1247dfee094e2467a3578eaec9bdf0833a ]
Sometimes xennet_create_queues() may failed to created all requested
queues, we need to update num_queues to real created to avoid NULL
pointer dereference.
