Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 018/180] xen-netfront: update num_queues to real created

3.16.7-ckt24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Joe Jin <joe.jin@...cle.com>

commit ca88ea1247dfee094e2467a3578eaec9bdf0833a upstream.

Sometimes xennet_create_queues() may failed to created all requested
queues, we need to update num_queues to real created to avoid NULL
pointer dereference.
