4.2.8-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Wei Liu <wei.l...@citrix.com>

commit 32a844056fd43dda647e1c3c6b9983bdfa04d17d upstream.

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.
