xen/netfront: set default upper limit of tx/rx queues to 8
The default for the number of tx/rx queues of one interface is the number of vcpus of the system today. As each queue pair reserves 512 grant pages this default consumes a ridiculous number of grants for large guests. Limit the queue number to 8 as default. This value can be modified via a module parameter if required.
