Stijn Tintel 239dff6697 kernel: update and refresh patches
The lantiq patch 0028-NET-lantiq-various-etop-fixes.patch and sunxi
patch 0051-stmmac-form-4-11.patch no longer applied after applying the
the "generalize napi_complete_done()" patch.
Update them so they apply, and refresh patches while at it.

Fixes: 9aeb7ce8dc ("generic: net: generalize napi_complete_done")

The hardware queue scheduling is apparently configured with fixed
priorities, which creates a nasty fairness issue where traffic from one
CPU can starve traffic from all other CPUs.
Work around this issue by forcing all tx packets to go through one CPU,
until this issue is fixed properly.
