vi->total_queue_pairs also should be set to 1

vi->total_queue_pairs = 1;

Hi Amos:

total_queue_pairs is the max number of queue pairs that the deivce could provide, so it's ok here.
The code is using this "default" even if the amount of queue pairs it
wants was specified during initialization. This basically limits any
device to use 1 pair when starting up.
