Subject: [PATCH] gve: Fix a possible invalid memory access

It is spurious to allocate a bitmap for 'num_qpls' bits and record the
size of this bitmap with another value.

'qpl_map_size' is used in 'drivers/net/ethernet/google/gve/gve.h' with
'find_[first|next]_zero_bit()'.
So, it looks that memory after the allocated 'qpl_id_map' could be
scanned.

Remove the '* BITS_PER_BYTE' to have allocation and length be the same.

Fixes: f5cedc84a30d ("gve: Add transmit and receive support")

This patch is completely speculative and un-tested!
You'll be warned.
