3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4c82ac3c37363e8c4ded6a5fe1ec5fa756b34df3 ]
Originally that parameter was always reset to num_online_cpus during
module initialisation, which renders it useless.
The fix is to only set max_queues to num_online_cpus when user has not
provided a value.
