This series fixes 2 issues that were found during NCSI's availability
testing on BCM5718 and improves HNCDSC AEN handler:
* PATCH[1] refactors the code so that minimal code change is put
to PATCH[2].
* PATCH[2] fixes the NCSI channel's stale link state before doing
failover.
* PATCH[3] chooses the hot channel, which was ever chosen as active
channel, when the available channels are all in link-down state.
* PATCH[4] improves Host Network Controller Driver Status Change
(HNCDSC) AEN handler
Changelog
=========
v2:
* Merged PATCH[v1 1/2] to PATCH[v2 1].

ncsi_suspend_channel().
