mlx5e_select_queue compares num_tc_x_num_ch to real_num_tx_queues to
determine if HTB and/or PTP offloads are active. If they are, it
calculates netdev_pick_tx() % num_tc_x_num_ch to prevent it from
selecting HTB and PTP queues for regular traffic. However, before the
channels are first activated, num_tc_x_num_ch is zero. If
ndo_select_queue gets called at this point, the HTB/PTP check will pass,
and mlx5e_select_queue will attempt to take a modulo by num_tc_x_num_ch,
which equals to zero.
This commit fixes the bug by assigning num_tc_x_num_ch to a non-zero
value before registering the netdev.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
