Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: mana: Improve mana_set_channels() for low mem conditions

The mana_set_channels() function requires detaching the mana
driver and reattaching it with changed channel values.
During this operation if the system is low on memory, the reattach
might fail, causing the network device being down.
To avoid this we pre-allocate buffers at the beginning of set operation,
to prevent complete network loss
