== SRU Justification ==
Microsoft has identified a multiple-NIC-deadlock issue on Hyper-V VMs.
This bug is fixed by the seven commits in this pull request.

These commits fix a regression introduced by mainline commit 8195b1396ec8.

These commits are also needed in Cosmic and linux-azure.  Cosmic only requres
two of these commits and linux-azure only requres six of them.  Due to this, 
their SRU requests will be sent separate.

== Regression Potential ==
Low, limited to hyperv.

== Test Case ==
Microsoft ran tests with these commits are confirm they resolve the bug
and do not introduce any regressions.
