Subject: [PATCH net] qede: fix interrupt coalescing configuration

On default driver load device gets configured with unexpected
higher interrupt coalescing values instead of default expected
values as memory allocated from krealloc() is not supposed to
be zeroed out and may contain garbage values.

Fix this by allocating the memory of required size first with
kcalloc() and then use krealloc() to resize and preserve the
contents across down/up of the interface.
