ice: Fix MSI-X vector fallback logic

The current MSI-X enablement logic tries to enable best-case MSI-X
vectors and if that fails we only support a bare-minimum set. This
includes a single MSI-X for 1 Tx and 1 Rx queue and a single MSI-X
for the OICR interrupt. Unfortunately, the driver fails to load when we
don't get as many MSI-X as requested for a couple reasons.

First, the code to allocate MSI-X in the driver tries to allocate
num_online_cpus() MSI-X for LAN traffic without caring about the number
of MSI-X actually enabled/requested from the kernel for LAN traffic.
So, when calling ice_get_res() for the PF VSI, it returns failure
because the number of available vectors is less than requested. Fix
this by not allowing the PF VSI to allocation  more than
pf->num_lan_msix MSI-X vectors and pf->num_lan_msix Rx/Tx queues.
Limiting the number of queues is done because we don't want more than
1 Tx/Rx queue per interrupt due to performance conerns.

Second, the driver assigns pf->num_lan_msix = 2, to account for LAN
traffic and the OICR. However, pf->num_lan_msix is only meant for LAN
MSI-X. This is causing a failure when the PF VSI tries to
allocate/reserve the minimum pf->num_lan_msix because the OICR MSI-X has
already been reserved, so there may not be enough MSI-X vectors left.
Fix this by setting pf->num_lan_msix = 1 for the failure case. Then the
ICE_MIN_MSIX accounts for the LAN MSI-X and the OICR MSI-X needed for
the failure case.

Update the related defines used in ice_ena_msix_range() to align with
the above behavior and remove the unused RDMA defines because RDMA is
currently not supported. Also, remove the now incorrect comment.
