[PATCH net-next v2 12/13] net: mana: keep the surviving queues when the channel count is reduced

A channel-count reduction rebuilds every queue it keeps, even though none
of their properties change. Shrinking 16 channels to 8 creates 8 TX and 8
RX queues and then destroys all 16 of each:

  set_channels 16 -> 8   created SQ=8  RQ=8  | destroyed SQ=16 RQ=16

A queue is derived from the ring sizes, the MTU/priv-flag/XDP buffer
layout and its EQ, none of which depend on the count, and queue i is
bound to EQ i at any count. Carry the survivors over and retire only the
tail: a reduction allocates two pointer arrays and a steering table
instead of a full queue set, the peak stays at one set rather than two,
and the queues that stay keep their page pools, posted RX buffers and
NAPI state.

A ring resize, MTU change, priv-flag toggle or XDP attach changes a
property of every queue, so those still rebuild.
