virtio_net: Revert "virtio_net: set the default max ring size by find_vqs()"
This reverts commit 762faee5. This has been reported to trip up guests on GCP (Google Cloud). The reason is that virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size is broken on legacy devices. We can in theory fix virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size but in fact the patch itself has several other issues: - It treats unknown speed as < 10G - It leaves userspace no way to find out the ring size set by hypervisor - It tests speed when link is down - It ignores the virtio spec advice: Both \field{speed} and \field{duplex} can change, thus the driver is expected to re-read these values after receiving a configuration change notification. - It is not clear the performance impact has been tested properly Revert the patch for now.
