[PATCH 4.19 19/77] virtio_net: Fix recursive call to cpus_read_lock()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

[ Upstream commit de33212f768c5d9e2fe791b008cb26f92f0aa31c ]

virtnet_set_channels can recursively call cpus_read_lock if CONFIG_XPS
and CONFIG_HOTPLUG are enabled.

The path is:
    virtnet_set_channels - calls get_online_cpus(), which is a trivial
wrapper around cpus_read_lock()
    netif_set_real_num_tx_queues
    netif_reset_xps_queues_gt
    netif_reset_xps_queues - calls cpus_read_lock()

This call chain and potential deadlock happens when the number of TX
queues is reduced.

This commit the removes netif_set_real_num_[tr]x_queues calls from
inside the get/put_online_cpus section, as they don't require that it
be held.
