[PATCH net] net: hns3: pad the short frame before sending to the hardware

[Huazhong Tan]

From: Yunsheng Lin <linyunsheng@huawei.com>

The hardware can not handle short frames below or equal to 32
bytes according to the hardware user manual, and it will trigger
a RAS error when the frame's length is below 33 bytes.

This patch pads the SKB when skb->len is below 33 bytes before
sending it to hardware.

Fixes: 76ad4f0ee747 ("net: hns3: Add support of HNS3 Ethernet Driver for hip08 SoC")
