Íñigo Huguet 046e1537a3 net: set default rss queues num to physical cores / 2
Network drivers can call to netif_get_num_default_rss_queues to get the
default number of receive queues to use. Right now, this default number
is min(8, num_online_cpus()).

Instead, as suggested by Jakub, use the number of physical cores divided
by 2 as a way to avoid wasting CPU resources and to avoid using both CPU
threads, but still allowing to scale for high-end processors with many
cores.

As an exception, select 2 queues for processors with 2 cores, because
otherwise it won't take any advantage of RSS despite being SMP capable.

Tested: Processor Intel Xeon E5-2620 (2 sockets, 6 cores/socket, 2
threads/core). NIC Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM57810 (10GBps). Ran some
tests with `perf stat iperf3 -R`, with parallelisms of 1, 8 and 24,
getting the following results:
- Number of queues: 6 (instead of 8)
- Network throughput: not affected
- CPU usage: utilized 0.05-0.12 CPUs more than before (having 24 CPUs
  this is only 0.2-0.5% higher)
- Reduced the number of context switches by 7-50%, being more noticeable
  when using a higher number of parallel threads.
