    net: ena: fix shift-out-of-bounds in exponential backoff

    The ENA adapters on our instances occasionally reset.  Once recently
    logged a UBSAN failure to console in the process:

      UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in build/linux/drivers/net/ethernet/amazon/ena/ena_com.c:540:13

    Apparently, the reset delays are getting so large they can trigger a
    UBSAN panic.

    Looking at the code, the current timeout is capped at 5000us.  Using a
    base value of 100us, the current code will overflow after (1<<29).  Even
    at values before 32, this function wraps around, perhaps
    unintentionally.

    Cap the value of the exponent used for this backoff at (1<<16) which is
    larger than currently necessary, but large enough to support bigger
    values in the future.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
