Subject: [PATCH 4.14 020/165] hv_netvsc: Use the num_online_cpus() for channel limit

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

------------------

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>

[ Commit 25a39f7f975c3c26a0052fbf9b59201c06744332 upstream. ]

Since we no longer localize channel/CPU affiliation within one NUMA
node, num_online_cpus() is used as the number of channel cap, instead of
the number of processors in a NUMA node.

This patch allows a bigger range for tuning the number of channels.
