Mellanox is requesting a backport of the following commit IDs from 5.3

- Netdevice HW MPLS features are not passed from device driver's netdevice to
- upper netdevice, specifically VLAN and bonding netdevice which are created
- by the kernel when needed.

- This prevents enablement and usage of HW offloads, such as TSO and
checksumming
- for MPLS tagged traffic when running via VLAN or bonding interface.
