qede: avoid uninitialized entries in coal_entry array

Browse source

commit aaa3c08ee0 upstream.

Even after commit 908d4bb7c5 ("qede: fix interrupt coalescing
configuration"), some entries of the coal_entry array may theoretically
be used uninitialized:

 1. qede_alloc_fp_array() allocates QEDE_MAX_RSS_CNT entries for
    coal_entry. The initial allocation uses kcalloc, so everything is
    initialized.
 2. The user sets a small number of queues (ethtool -L).
    coal_entry is reallocated for the actual small number of queues.
 3. The user sets a bigger number of queues.
    coal_entry is reallocated bigger. The added entries are not
    necessarily initialized.

In practice, the reallocations will actually keep using the originally
allocated region of memory, but we should not rely on it.

The reallocation is unnecessary. coal_entry can always have
QEDE_MAX_RSS_CNT entries.
