[Impact]
Hardware triggrs reboot when disconnecting WiFi connection.

[Fix]
There's a DMA bug in Intel WiFi 9000 needs to be limits to 6 RX queue
max.

[Test]
With the patch applied, a 1000 times of connect/disconnect loop doesn't
bring the system down.

[Regression Potential]
Not that I can think of. Hypothetically reducing RX queue rings will
reduce the RX speed, but the wireless transfter is a lot slower then DMA
operation, so we won't see any difference.
