qede: avoid uninitialized entries in coal_entry array
Even after commit 908d4bb7c54c ("qede: fix interrupt coalescing
configuration"), some entries of the coal_entry array may theoretically
be used uninitialized:
1. qede_alloc_fp_array() allocates QEDE_MAX_RSS_CNT entries for
coal_entry. The initial allocation uses kcalloc, so everything is
initialized.
2. The user sets a small number of queues (ethtool -L).
coal_entry is reallocated for the actual small number of queues.
3. The user sets a bigger number of queues.
coal_entry is reallocated bigger. The added entries are not
necessarily initialized.
In practice, the reallocations will actually keep using the originally
allocated region of memory, but we should not rely on it.
The reallocation is unnecessary. coal_entry can always have
QEDE_MAX_RSS_CNT entries.
