net/sched: mqprio: allow offloading drivers to request queue count validation



mqprio_parse_opt() proudly has a comment:

	/* If hardware offload is requested we will leave it to the device
	 * to either populate the queue counts itself or to validate the
	 * provided queue counts.
	 */

Unfortunately some device drivers did not get this memo, and don't
validate the queue counts, or populate them.

In case drivers don't want to populate the queue counts themselves, just
act upon the requested configuration, it makes sense to introduce a tc
capability, and make mqprio query it, so they don't have to do the
validation themselves.
