Subject: [net-next 2/9] i40e: Change firmware workaround 

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

Remove a workaround that is no longer necessary and implement
a better understanding of what firmware is returning in the MSI-X
vector count.  This makes it so that the driver ends up with the 
right amount of queues when using all available MSI-X vectors.
