    IB/IPoIB: Fix legacy IPoIB due to wrong number of queues

    The cited commit creates child PKEY interfaces over netlink will
    multiple tx and rx queues, but some devices doesn't support more than 1
    tx and 1 rx queues. This causes to a crash when traffic is sent over the
    PKEY interface due to the parent having a single queue but the child
    having multiple queues.

    This patch fixes the number of queues to 1 for legacy IPoIB at the
    earliest possible point in time.
