Subject: CVE-2021-47619: i40e: Fix queues reservation for XDP

Description
===========

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

i40e: Fix queues reservation for XDP

When XDP was configured on a system with large number of CPUs
and X722 NIC there was a call trace with NULL pointer dereference.

i40e 0000:87:00.0: failed to get tracking for 256 queues for VSI 0 err -12
i40e 0000:87:00.0: setup of MAIN VSI failed

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:i40e_xdp+0xea/0x1b0 [i40e]

RIP: 0033:0x7f83fa7a39e0

This was caused by PF queue pile fragmentation due to
flow director VSI queue being placed right after main VSI.
Because of this main VSI was not able to resize its
queue allocation for XDP resulting in no queues allocated
for main VSI when XDP was turned on.

Fix this by always allocating last queue in PF queue pile
for a flow director VSI.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47619 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
