** Description changed:

+ [Impact]

  Description of problem:
  In a VM with CX4 VF NIC on Azure, after hibernation/resume, the TX/RX packet 
counters stop increaseing.
  This issue doesn't exist in VM with a CX3 VF NIC.
  
  This happens to the latest stable release of the linux-azure
  5.4.0-1023.23 kernel and the latest mainline linux kernel.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
  
  How reproducible:
  100%
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Start a VM in Azure that supports Accelerated Networking, and enable 
hibernation properly (please refer to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+bug/1880032/comments/14 
). Please make sure the VF NIC is CX-4 since the issue doesn't happen to CX-3.
  
  2. Do hibernation from serial console
  # systemctl hibernate
  
  3. After the VM resumes back, check the MSI interrupt counters in
  /proc/interrupts for the CX-4 NIC, and also check “ifconfig” (e.g.
  “ifconfig enP2642s2”) for the RX/TX counters. These counters stop
  increasing while they should.
  
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The change touches netvsc and has potential to affect any instances
+ using accelerated networking. However the fix is straightforward and
+ it's a clean cherry-pick from 5.9.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
