bnx2x: Enlarge the dorq threshold for VFs
A malicious VF might try to starve the other VFs & PF by creating contineous doorbell floods. In order to negate this, HW has a threshold of doorbells per client, which will stop the client doorbells from arriving if crossed. The threshold currently configured for VFs is too low - under extreme traffic scenarios, it's possible for a VF to reach the threshold and thus for its fastpath to stop working.
