sfc: adjust efx->xdp_tx_queue_count with the real number of initialized queues
efx->xdp_tx_queue_count is initially initialized to num_possible_cpus() and is
later used to allocate and traverse efx->xdp_tx_queues lookup array. However,
we may end up not initializing all the array slots with real queues during
probing. This results, for example, in a NULL pointer dereference, when running
"# ethtool -S <iface>", similar to below

Fix this by adjusting efx->xdp_tx_queue_count after probing to reflect the true
value of initialized slots in efx->xdp_tx_queues.
