Reduce NAPI weight in hns driver from 256 to 64

[Ike Panhc]

[Impact]
We have a warning[1] in dmesg shows hns register napi as weight 256 but not recommended. According to this commit[2] we shall use weight 64 as suggested.

[1] netif_napi_add() called with weight 256
[2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=82dc3c63c692b1e1d59378ecee948ac88e034aad

[Test Case]
dmesg | grep netif_napi_add

[Fix]

    net: hns: Use NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT for hns driver

    When the HNS driver loaded, always have an error print:
    "netif_napi_add() called with weight 256"

    This is because the kernel checks the NAPI polling weights
    requested by drivers and it prints an error message if a driver
    requests a weight bigger than 64.

    So use NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT to fix it.

[Regression Risk]
Only weight for NAPI changed. Lowest regression risk.
