Subject: [PATCH] mlx4: Fix tx ring affinity_mask creation

By default, the number of tx queues is limited by the number of online cpus in
mlx4_en_get_profile(). However, this limit no longer holds after the ethtool
.set_channels method has been called. In that situation, the driver may access
invalid bits of certain cpumask variables when queue_index > nr_cpu_ids.
