net: ena: use constant value for net_device allocation
The patch changes the maximum number of RX/TX queues it advertises to the kernel (via alloc_etherdev_mq()) from a value received from the device to a constant value which is the minimum between 128 and the number of CPUs in the system. By allocating the net_device struct with a constant number of queues, the driver is able to allocate it at a much earlier stage, before calling any ena_com functions. This would allow to make all log prints in ena_com to use netdev_* log functions instead or current pr_* ones. Note: netdev_* prints in ena_com functions that are called before net_device registration in ena_probe() might print messages that are a bit ugly (with strings like "(unnamed net_device) (uninitialized)"). However we decided to use netdev_* prints in these functions anyway, for the sake of getting better messages later, when ena_com functions are called after ena_probe() form other parts of the driver. See discussion about this decision in [1].
