  Number of direct credits, atomic inflight and history list are
updated to DLB2.0 supported sizes. As DLB2.0 does not provide
dev arg to override the default per-queue atomic inflight
allocation, it is removed from the documentation.

   doc/dlb2: fix dlb2 documentation

    Number of direct credits, atomic inflight and history list are
    updated to DLB2.0 supported sizes. As DLB2.0 does not provide
    dev arg to override the default per-queue atomic inflight
    allocation, it is removed from the documentation.
