[PATCHv2 2/3] nvme-pci: cap queue creation to used queues

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

If the user reduces the special queue count at runtime and resets the
controller, we need to reduce the number of queues and interrupts
requested accordingly rather than start with the pre-allocated queue
count.
