Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/4] tuntap: Accept tuntap maximum number of queues as sysctl

 This patch accepts maximum number of tun/tap queues allocated as
 sysctl entry which a user space application like libvirt
 can make use of to limit maximum number of tuntap queues. 
 Value of sysctl entry is writable dynamically.
 
 If no value is set for sysctl entry 'net.tuntap.max_queues' 
 a default value 256 is used which is equal to maximum number 
 of vCPUS allowed by KVM.
