net: enetc: ensure we always have a minimum number of TXQs for stack



Currently it can happen that an mqprio qdisc is installed with num_tc 8,
and this will reserve 8 (out of 8) TXQs for the network stack. Then we
can attach an XDP program, and this will crop 2 TXQs, leaving just 6 for
mqprio. That's not what the user requested, and we should fail it.

On the other hand, if mqprio isn't requested, we still give the 8 TXQs
to the network stack (with hashing among a single traffic class), but
then, cropping 2 TXQs for XDP is fine, because the user didn't
explicitly ask for any number of TXQs, so no expectations are violated.

Simply put, the logic that mqprio should impose a minimum number of TXQs
for the network never existed. Let's say (more or less arbitrarily) that
without mqprio, the driver expects a minimum number of TXQs equal to the
number of CPUs (on NXP LS1028A, that is either 1, or 2). And with mqprio,
mqprio gives the minimum required number of TXQs.
