Thanks Tobias for the fix, although it is redundant for most of the
reconfiguration options of mlx5 to call set_real_num_{rx,tx} queues
every time, but it is not that big of a deal, so it is ok with me to
align the code with the previous behavior we had before ("net/mlx5e:
Minimize mlx5e_{open/close}_locked").
