compat: backport netif_set_real_num_rx_queues()
netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() was added on v2.6.37 but
requires CONFIG_RPS support which was added on v2.6.35.
A few updates were done on the net core though to support
changing the number of RX queues if the device was already
registered. We can't support this on older kernels though
so the best we can do is for kernels >= 2.6.35 simply try
to update the num_rx_queues and if the device is registered
fail.

net: Allow changing number of RX queues after device allocation
For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of
queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not
determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so
this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not
the actual number in use.
For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX
queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().
