[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost PMD: Fix wrong handling of maximum value of rx/tx queues

Currently, the maximum value of rx/tx queueus are kept by EAL. But,
the value are used like below different meanings in vhost PMD.
 - The maximum value of current enabled queues.
 - The maximum value of current supported queues.

This wrong double meaning will cause an issue like below steps.

* Invoke application with below option.
  --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=<socket path>,queues=4'
* Configure queues like below.
  rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 2, 2, ...);
* Configure queues again like below.
  rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 4, 4, ...);

The second rte_eth_dev_configure() will be failed because both
the maximum value of current enabled queues and supported queues
will be '2' after calling first rte_eth_dev_configure().

To fix the issue, the patch prepare one more variable to keep the
number of maximum supported queues in vhost PMD.
