net: reduce the unnecessary memory allocation of multiqueue
Edivaldo reports a problem that the array of NetClientState in NICState is too large - MAX_QUEUE_NUM(1024) which will wastes memory even if multiqueue is not used. Instead of static arrays, solving this issue by allocating the queues on demand for both the NetClientState array in NICState and VirtIONetQueue array in VirtIONet. Tested by myself, with single virtio-net-pci device. The memory allocation is almost the same as when multiqueue is not merged.
