ixgbe/base: fix VF multi-queue

When starting testpmd with multiple queues on a ixgbe VF
port, it failed with this printing, "nb_rxq(4) is greater
than max_rx_queues(1)".

The root cause is the VF doesn't get the right max rx queue
number from PF and it uses the default value 1.
VF max rx queue number is set by PF through mailbox messages.
The message for this setting only supports version 1.1. As
message version is updated to 1.2, VF cannot parse the rx queue
number setting message correctly.

This patch raise a specific base code update for this issue.

Fixes: 72dec9e37a84 ("ixgbe: support multicast promiscuous mode on VF")
