[Intel-wired-lan] [jkirsher/next-queue PATCH] i40e: Remove limit of 64 max queues per channel

[Amritha Nambiar]

It is safe to remove the upper limit of 64 queues on a channel
VSI. The upper bound is determined by the VSI's num_queue_pairs
and gets validated when the queue mapping info through mqprio
interface is subject to bound checking in the driver.
