Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/7] be2net: Create multiple TXQs on RSS capable multi-channel BE3-R interfaces

From: Vasundhara Volam <vasundhara.volam@...lex.com>

Currently the driver creates only a single TXQ on any BE3-R multi-channel
interface.
This patch changes this and creates multiple TXQs on RSS-capable multi-channel
BE3-R interfaces. This change helps improve the TX pps performance on the
affected interface.
