Subject: [PATCH] net: netvsc: Increase default VMBus channel from 8 to 16

Increase default VMBus channels in Linux netvsc from 8 to 16
to align with Azure Windows VM and improve networking throughput.

Set channels to 16 for VMs with more than 16 vCPUs;
otherwise, channels depend on VM's vCPU count.

Performance tests showed significant improvement in throughput:
- 0.54% for 16 vCPUs
- 1.51% for 32 vCPUs
- 0.72% for 48 vCPUs
- 5.57% for 64 vCPUs
- 9.14% for 96 vCPUs
