net/mlx5e: remove channel count limit for XOR8 RSS hash

mlx5e_ethtool_set_channels() and mlx5e_rxfh_hfunc_check() rejected
channel counts that would produce an indirection table larger than 256
entries when the XOR8 hash function was active. This check was
introduced in commit 49e6c93870 ("net/mlx5e: RSS, Block XOR hash
with over 128 channels").

XOR8 yields an 8-bit hash, so in practice only up to 256 entries in the
indirection table can be reached due to limited entropy. However, this
does not provide a strong justification for prohibiting larger
indirection tables. Remove the limitation.
