linux_{5_15,6_1}: revert patch to fix Equinix Metal bonded networking with `ice` driver
Some Equinix Metal instances, such as a3.large.x86, m3.large.x86 (specific hardware revisions), and n3.large.x86, use the `ice` kernel driver for their network cards, in conjunction with bonded devices. However, this commit caused a regression where these bonded devices would deadlock. This was initially reported by Jaroslav Pulchart on the netdev mailing list[1], and there were follow-up patches from Dave Ertman[2][3] that attempted to fix this but were not up to snuff for various reasons[4]. Specifically, v2 of the patch ([3]) appears to fix the issue on some devices (tested with 8086:159B network cards), while it is still broken on others (such as an 8086:1593 network card). We revert the patch exposing the issue until upstream has a working solution in order to make Equinix Metal instances work reliably again.
