[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 207/210] xen-netback: respect user provided max_queues

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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.
