[SRU][Yakkety][V2][PATCH 0/2] Fixes for LP:1672785

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672785

== Yakkety SRU Justification ==
Mellanox has submitted commit 4cbe4dac82e4 upstream that's important for SR-IOV in Azure.

This bug is resolved by commit 4cbe4dac82e4, which landed in mainline as of
v4.11-rc1. 

A Yakkety SRU request was already submitted.  However, the first request 
required a backport of commit 4cbe4dac82e423 and the backport did not remove the 
definition of MLX4_INTERFACE_STATE_SHUTDOWN which had the same value as 
MLX4_INTERFACE_STATE_NOWAIT, wich commit 4cbe4dac82e4 adds.  

Commit b4353708f5a is needed as a prereq. This commit removes 
MLX4_INTERFACE_STATE_SHUTDOWN and all references to it.
