Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: cleanups in RX queue allocation

Clean up in RX queue allocation.  In netif_set_real_num_rx_queues
return error on attempt to set zero queues, and set
dev->num_rx_queues if device not registered (similar to TX
allocation).  In netif_alloc_rx_queues, do BUG_ON if queue
count is zero.
