Subject: CVE-2022-49378: sfc: fix considering that all channels have TX queues

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

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

sfc: fix considering that all channels have TX queues

Normally, all channels have RX and TX queues, but this is not true if
modparam efx_separate_tx_channels=1 is used. In that cases, some
channels only have RX queues and others only TX queues (or more
preciselly, they have them allocated, but not initialized).

Fix efx_channel_has_tx_queues to return the correct value for this case
too.

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:
