net/mlx5e: Optimize modulo in mlx5e_select_queue

To improve the performance of the modulo operation (%), it's replaced by
a subtracting the divisor in a loop. The modulo is used to fix up an
out-of-bounds value that might be returned by netdev_pick_tx or to
convert the queue number to the channel number when num_tcs > 1. Both
situations are unlikely, because XPS is configured not to pick higher
queues (qid >= num_channels) by default, so under normal circumstances
the flow won't go inside the loop, and it will be faster than %.

num_tcs == 8 adds at most 7 iterations to the loop. PTP adds at most 1
iteration to the loop. HTB would add at most 256 iterations (when
num_channels == 1), so there is an additional boundary check in the HTB
flow, which falls back to % if more than 7 iterations are expected.
