Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] virtio_net: Revert "virtio_net: set the default max
 ring size by find_vqs()"

This reverts commit 762faee5a2678559d3dc09d95f8f2c54cd0466a7.

This has been reported to trip up guests on GCP (Google Cloud).
The reason is that virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size is broken on legacy
devices. We can in theory fix virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size but
in fact the patch itself has several other issues:

- It treats unknown speed as < 10G
- It leaves userspace no way to find out the ring size set by hypervisor
- It tests speed when link is down
- It ignores the virtio spec advice:
        Both \field{speed} and \field{duplex} can change, thus the driver
        is expected to re-read these values after receiving a
        configuration change notification.
- It is not clear the performance impact has been tested properly

Revert the patch for now.
