    net/i40e: increase max descriptor queue length
    According to the Intel X710/XXV710/XL710 Datasheet, the maximum receive
    queue descriptor length is 0x1FE0 (8160 in base 10). This is specified
    as QLEN in table 8-12, page 1083.
    
    I've tested this change with an XXV710 NIC and it has positive effect on
    performance under high load scenarios. Where previously I'd get
    ~2000 packets/sec miss rate, now I get only ~40 packets/sec miss rate.
