Subject: [net-next PATCH] ixgbe: Fix a set_num_queues() bug that can result in
	num_(r|t)x_queues = 0

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

Now that our set_num_queues() routines for each feature are re-entrant, and
can be called at any point, they shouldn't zero out the feature's indices
or mask bits.  Subsequent calls into those routines for those features can
result in zero Rx and Tx queues being assigned, causing a panic later in
driver reinitialization.
