4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit bc800e8b39bad60ccdb83be828da63af71ab87b3 ]
The __alx_open function can be called from ndo_open, which is called
under RTNL, or from alx_resume, which isn't. Since commit d768319cd427,
we're calling the netif_set_real_num_{tx,rx}_queues functions, which
need to be called under RTNL.
This is similar to commit 0c2cc02e571a ("igb: Move the calls to set the
Tx and Rx queues into igb_open").
Fixes: d768319cd427 ("alx: enable multiple tx queues")
