Subject: [PATCH] iavf: Fix limit of total number of queues to active queues of
VF

In the absence of this validation, if the user requests to configure queues more than the enabled queues, it results in sending the requested number of queues to the kernel stack (due to the asynchronous nature of VF response), in which case the stack might pick a queue to transmit that is not enabled and result in Tx hang. Fix this bug by limiting the total number of queues allocated for VF to active queues of VF.
