Alexander Duyck 5b5f14601e ixgbe: Prevent u8 wrapping of ITR value to something less than 10us
commit 377228accb upstream.

There were a couple cases where the ITR value generated via the adaptive
ITR scheme could exceed 126. This resulted in the value becoming either 0
or something less than 10. Switching back and forth between a value less
than 10 and a value greater than 10 can cause issues as certain hardware
features such as RSC to not function well when the ITR value has dropped
that low.
