Subject: [PATCH] i40e: fix the panic when running bpf in xdpdrv mode

From: Jason Xing <xingwanli@...ishou.com>

Fix this by add more rules to calculate the value of @rss_size_max which
could be used in allocating the queues when bpf is loaded, which, however,
could cause the failure and then triger the NULL pointer of vsi->rx_rings.
Prio to this fix, the machine doesn't care about how many cpus are online
and then allocates 256 queues on the machine with 32 cpus online
actually.

Once the load of bpf begins, the log will go like this "failed to get
tracking for 256 queues for VSI 0 err -12" and this "setup of MAIN VSI
failed".

Thus, I attach the key information of the crash-log here.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
