tuntap: Increase the number of queues in tun.
Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side. It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues. Preceding patch: 'net: allow large number of rx queues' made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs KVM supports. Size of tun_struct changes from 8512 to 10496 after this patch. This keeps pages allocated for tun_struct before and after the patch to 3.
