Title:
  Bugfixes for  hns network driver

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The hns driver we're shipping in hwe-z lacks a number of performance 
improvements and bug fixes that have since landed upstream prior to v4.12-rc4.

  [Test Case]
  Use iperf to confirm functionality, and no obvious loss of performance.

  = Before =

  Duplex:
  $ iperf -c <targetIP> -P 8 -d -t 30
   941 Mbits/sec
  Simplex:
  $ iperf -c <targetIP> -P 8 -t 30
   942 Mbits/sec

  = After =
  Duplex:
  $ iperf -c <targetIP> -P 8 -d -t 30
   942 Mbits/sec
  Simplex:
  $ iperf -c <targetIP> -P 8 -t 30
   942 Mbits/sec

  
  [Regression Risk]
  Changes are restricted to the hns driver, which is only used on HiSilicon 
SoCs. All changes are clean cherry-picks from upstream, so any regressions will 
have upstream support.
