The hardware can not handle short frames below or equal to 32
bytes.

[Impact]
The system may hang or endless event log in /var/log/syslog

[Fix]
Cherry-pick or backport the upstream fix
36c67349a1a1c88b9cf11d7ca7762ababdb38867 net: hns3: pad the short frame
before sending to the hardware

[Test Case]
Send a frame less than 33 bytes.

[Regression Risk]
Low, the patch is only specific to the hns3 driver.
