nit: delete this empty line please, like it was in the original code.

Please:

	if (!netif_queue_is_a_lease())
		return __net_mp_open_rxq(dev, rxq_idx, p, extack);

	..explicit code that deals with the lease, no conditional locking
	...
	ret = __net_mp_open_rxq($dev, $rxq_idx, p, extack);
	...

Indeed good to cleanup the ifq_idx naming that sneaked in, but IDK if
this belongs in this commit :S
