rtnl: allow to specify number of rx and tx queues on device creation
This patch introduces IFLA_NUM_TX_QUEUES and IFLA_NUM_RX_QUEUES by which userspace can set number of rx and/or tx queues to be allocated for newly created netdevice. This overrides ops->get_num_[tr]x_queues() Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
