iwlwifi: pcie: compare with number of IRQs requested for, not number of CPUs
When there are 16 or more logical CPUs, we request for
`IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES` (16) IRQs only as we limit to that number of
IRQs, but later on we compare the number of IRQs returned to
nr_online_cpus+2 instead of max_irqs, the latter being what we
actually asked for. This ends up setting num_rx_queues to 17 which
causes lots of out-of-bounds array accesses later on.
Compare to max_irqs instead, and also add an assertion in case
num_rx_queues > IWM_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES.

Title:
iwlwifi fails to work on 16 or more logical CPUs machines
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Got dmesg kernel BUG while loading iwlwifi driver on machines which has 16 or
more logical CPUs
kernel: RIP: 0010:iwl_pcie_rxq_alloc_rbs+0x1d0/0x1f0 [iwlwifi]
And it leads to wifi can't scan any APs, and leads to system hangs while
suspending.
[Fix]
Below commit contained in v4.17 fix the issue.
