Patch 14 wires live ethtool -L rx. This patch completes the down-path
publish/rollback and get_channels() once mq_fallback is set, replacing
patch 14's temporary -EOPNOTSUPP for an RX count change while down.

When down: set TX queues first, then publish the desired RX count in
adapter->num_rx_queues and netdev->real_num_rx_queues (rx-N sysfs and
CMO desired change immediately). Do not allocate RX mappings, buffers
or IRQs while down. If RX set_real fails, restore the old TX real_num.

When up: resize RX, then the existing TX LTB
stop/alloc/set_real_num_tx/free/wake path. Skip that path when the TX
count is unchanged. If TX cannot reach the requested count, roll RX
back; that rollback is best-effort.

Validate tx_count before touching RX so a request the driver will
reject does not resize RX first. The ethtool core already range-checks
against the max_tx get_channels() reports; this is the driver's own
guard.

get_channels() always reports the live rx_count. When mq_fallback is
set it caps max_rx at that count. Understating rx_count would turn a
TX-only ethtool -L into a silent RX shrink. Advertising max_rx = 1
while rx_count is still live fails the core the same way (rx_count >
max_rx) and blocks that TX-only request. Capping max_rx at the live
count blocks growth without misreporting what is configured.

max_tx is at least the live tx_count. After CPU offline,
ibmveth_real_max_tx_queues() can drop below real_num_tx_queues;
ethtool -L resubmits that count and the core rejects tx_count >
max_tx, which also blocked an RX-only request. set_channels uses
the same ceiling (live count or the online-CPU cap, whichever is
larger) and refuses only a request above that.

i = old_tx before the TX alloc loop is readability; the old
for-initializer already defined i for the free walk.

Guard poll_controller() with adapter->opened so netpoll cannot walk
unallocated queue state while closed.

Changes in v7:
- refresh the TX-fail RX rollback comment
- get_channels max_tx is at least the live
  tx_count; set_channels uses that same
  ceiling and refuses only a request above it
- lift patch 14's temporary -EOPNOTSUPP for an RX
  count change while down
- noted: get_channels keeps the live rx_count;
  mq_fallback caps max_rx at that count; do
  not advertise max_rx = 1 and do not clamp
  rx_count

Changes in v6:
- get_channels() caps max_rx at the live rx_count when mq_fallback
  is set; rx_count stays live
- roll back TX real_num if down-path RX set_real fails
- poll_controller() returns if !opened
- noted: rx > 1 reject once mq_fallback is set is patch 14

Changes in v5:
- set_channels / resize_rx_channels read via get_num_rx_queues()
- Series renumber: mailed v4 13/14 set_channels -> tip P15 (end; 14->15)
- set_channels: gate on adapter->opened (not IFF_UP) for live RX resize
  vs while-down stash
- Down-path RX stash also refreshes CMO (publish + set_real_num_rx)
- When up: resize RX then TX; roll RX back if TX cannot reach goal

Changes in v4:
- On !IFF_UP, stash num_rx_queues only after TX set succeeds; do not
  allocate live subordinate IRQs/buffers while down.
- Initialize i = old_tx on the TX adjust path.
- Always return rc from set_channels().
- Split from the resize-helper patch (same split as v3) while keeping
  a live caller of resize_rx_channels() in the previous patch.
