Public bug reported:

[Impact]
KASAN detected a use-after free condition in hns_nic_net_xmit_hw() that can 
lead to a crash. KASAN error is shown in the commit log:
  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v4.13-rc1&id=27463ad99f738ed93c7c8b3e2e5bc8c4853a2ff2

[Test Case]
Unfortunately, KASAN arm64 support wasn't mature enough to test with Ubuntu 
kernels (< 4.13), so we can't test this directly on an Ubuntu tree. Testing on 
Ubuntu is therefore limited to regression testing.

[Regression Risk]
The fix is localized to a driver that is specific to a HiSilicon SoC. 
Regression risk is mitigated by testing on that system (boot, generating 
network activity over a NIC that uses this driver).
