3.16.7-ckt24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 32a844056fd43dda647e1c3c6b9983bdfa04d17d upstream.
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.
