igb: Fix oops caused by missing queue pairing

When initializing igb driver (e.g. 82576, I350), IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS is
set if adapter->rss_queues exceeds half of max_rss_queues in
igb_init_queue_configuration().
On the other hand, IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS is not set even if the number of
queues exceeds half of max_combined in igb_set_channels() when changing
the number of queues by "ethtool -L".
In this case, if numvecs is larger than MAX_MSIX_ENTRIES (10), the size
of adapter->msix_entries[], an overflow can occur in
igb_set_interrupt_capability(), which in turn leads to an oops.

Fix this problem as follows:
 - When changing the number of queues by "ethtool -L", set
   IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS in the same way as initializing igb driver.
 - When increasing the size of q_vector, reallocate it appropriately.
   (With IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS set, the size of q_vector gets larger.)

Another possible way to fix this problem is to cap the queues at its
initial number, which is the number of the initial online cpus. But t...
