Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: limit MSI-X IRQs to IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES - 1 to avoid num_rx_queues > IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES

When there are 16 or more logical CPUs, we request for `IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES` (16)
IRQs only, but later on create `num_irqs+1` RX queues, which could end up more
than `IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES` if the OS does return us 16 IRQs. This wreaks lots
of havoc elsewhere later on due to code that uses `num_rx_queues` to calculate
array sizes.

Limit to IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES - 1 IRQs so num_rx_queues is never more than
IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES.

My bad. Forgot to sign off.

Subject: [PATCH v3] iwlwifi: compare with actual number of IRQs requested for, not number of CPUs

When there are 16 or more logical CPUs, we request for `IWL_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES` (16)
IRQs only as we limit to that number of IRQs, but later on we compare the
number of IRQs returned to nr_online_cpus+2 instead of max_irqs, the latter
being what we actually asked for. This ends up setting num_rx_queues to 17
which causes lots of out-of-bounds array accesses later on.

Compare to max_irqs instead, and also add an assertion in case num_rx_queues
> IWM_MAX_RX_HW_QUEUES.

I think this is a better fix than what I sent previously.

But you guys are probably looking into it now, so please disregard my
probably-incorrect fix.

Thanks.
