[Impact] Bug 1800664 introduced checksum offload and TSO support for HiNIC adapters. While that did improve performance in short iperf runs, longer runs were later found to show a significant regression in performance: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1800664/comments/3
[Test Case] iperf -c 192.168.99.1 -P5
[Fix] Revert the offending patch.
[Regression Risk] This is reverting a patch, returning the driver to 18.10 GA behavior.
