CVE-2021-47399

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ixgbe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe_xdp_setup

The ixgbe driver currently generates a NULL pointer dereference with
some machine (online cpus < 63). This is due to the fact that the
maximum value of num_xdp_queues is nr_cpu_ids. Code is in
"ixgbe_set_rss_queues"".

Here's how the problem repeats itself:
Some machine (online cpus < 63), And user set num_queues to 63 through
ethtool. Code is in the "ixgbe_set_channels",
	adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR].limit = count;

It becomes 63.

When user use xdp, "ixgbe_set_rss_queues" will set queues num.
	adapter->num_rx_queues = rss_i;
	adapter->num_tx_queues = rss_i;
	adapter->num_xdp_queues = ixgbe_xdp_queues(adapter);

And rss_i's value is from
	f = &adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR];
	rss_i = f->indices = f->limit;

So "num_rx_queues" > "num_xdp_queues", when run to "ixgbe_xdp_setup",
	for (i = 0; i < adapter->num_rx_queues; i++)
		if (adapter->xdp_ring[i]->xsk_umem)

It leads to panic.

So I fix ixgbe_max_channels so that it will not allow a setting of queues
to be higher than the num_online_cpus(). And when run to ixgbe_xdp_setup,
take the smaller value of num_rx_queues and num_xdp_queues.
