ixgbevf: Fix multiple issues in ixgbevf_get/set_ringparam
In ixgbevf_get_ringparam we could run into a NULL pointer dereference
if the rings were not allocated when we attempted the call. To prevent
that we can just access the tx/rx_ring_count values instead of attempting
to access the rings to get the count.
This change corrects a memory leak and memory corruption in
ixgbevf_set_ringparam.
The memory leak was due to us not freeing the resources from the ring
before overwriting them. This change corrects the memory leak by making
certain to call ixgbe_free_tx/rx_resources on the rings prior to freeing
them.
The memory corruption was because we were replacing the rings but not
updating the q_vectors. It addresses the memory corruption by leaving the
rings in place and instead just copying the contents of the new rings into
the existing rings.
