The buffers to be used for communication are allocated during the
rpmsg virtio driver's probe, and the total number of buffers is
currently hard-coded to 512. The vring configuration can vary from
one platform to another or between different remote processors. The
setup of the receive buffers will throw a WARN_ON if the associated
vrings are configured with less than 256 buffers (in each direction).
So, adjust this hard-coded value to rely on the number of buffers the
virtqueue vring is setup with, but also limit to use 256 buffers at
most in each direction to avoid wacky resource tables consuming up
unreasonable memory.

NOTE: The number of buffers is already assumed to be symmetrical
in each direction, and that logic is not unchanged.
