This allows HMC to disconnect a Linux client from the network if the
vNIC adapter is misbehaving and/or sending malicious traffic. The
effect
is the same as when a sysadmin sets a link down (ibmvnic_close()) on
the
Linux client. This patch extends this ability to the HMC.

IIUC we don't need to fix this ASAP and backport to stable.
Yes, I will submit v2 net-next. Thank you.
