    Check if flavor.vcpus is more than MAX_TAP_QUEUES
    
    When attempting to instantiate an instance based on an image with
    the metadata hw:vif_multiqueue_enabled=true, the code uses
    flavor.vcpus as the number of queues on a tap interface.
    
    In kernels prior to 3.0, multiple queues on a tap interface
    is not supported[1]. In kernels 3.x, the number of queues
    on a tap interface is limited to 8 as MAX_TAP_QUEUES in tun
    driver[2]. From 4.0, the number is 256[3]. If flavor.vcpus
    is more than MAX_TAP_QUEUES, creating the tap interface
    fails.
    
    This commit adds logic to check if flavor.vcpus is more
    than MAX_TAP_QUEUES and use MAX_TAP_QUEUES as the number
    of queues if so.
