Subject: [patch -next] qlcnic: underflow in qlcnic_validate_max_tx_rings()

This function checks the upper bound but it doesn't check for negative
numbers:

        if (txq > QLCNIC_MAX_TX_RINGS) {

I've solved this by making "txq" a u32 type.  I chose that because
->tx_count in the ethtool_channels struct is a __u32.

This bug was added in aa4a1f7df7 ('qlcnic: Enable Tx queue changes using
ethtool for 82xx Series adapter.').
