Currently, the maximum value of rx/tx queues are kept by EAL. But,
the value is used like below with different meanings in vhost PMD.
- The maximum value of current enabled queues.
- The maximum value of current supported queues.
This wrong double meaning will cause an issue like below steps.
* Invoke application with below option.
--vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=<socket path>,queues=4'
* Configure queues like below.
rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 2, 2, ...);
* Configure queues again like below.
rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 4, 4, ...);
The second rte_eth_dev_configure() will fail because both
the maximum value of current enabled queues and supported queues
will be '2' after calling first rte_eth_dev_configure().
To fix the issue, the patch adds another variable to keep the maximum
number of supported queues in vhost PMD.
