Subject: [PATCH PATCH net v2 7/9] hv_netvsc: defer queue selection to VF

When VF is used for accelerated networking it will likely have
more queues (and different policy) than the synthetic NIC.
This patch defers the queue policy to the VF so that all the
queues can be used. This impacts workloads like local generate UDP.
