Public bug reported:

[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:

[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.
