Bug description:
[Impact]

In both 5.4 and 5.8 kernel, there are two patches in PCI to workaround
an issue with GPU and Infiniband at the time. Those two patches are no
longer necessary in today's Azure environment. Those two patches
introduces bugs to the latest Azure HPC VM SKU.

4.15 kernel is not affected.

Microsoft has regression tested and verified that the following two
patches can be dropped or reverted in 5.4 and 5.8.

5.4 kernel:
Patch 1: Revert "PCI: hv: Make sure the bus domain is really unique"
https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+git/bionic/commit/drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c?h=azure-5.4&id=faf2750396d60001046333bd46eee757bb4cac7b

Patch 2: UBUNTU: SAUCE: pci-hyperv: Use only 16 bit integer for PCI domain
https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+git/bionic/commit/drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c?h=azure-5.4&id=04ac3e06ab708131c1c18cb7db10ca5dd6feedce

5.8 kernel:
Patch 1: Revert "PCI: hv: Make sure the bus domain is really unique"
https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+git/groovy/commit/drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c?h=Ubuntu-azure-5.8.0-1016.17&id=7c85402203e26d4d0474f69b99b5a06ffb765630

Patch 2: UBUNTU: SAUCE: pci-hyperv: Use only 16 bit integer for PCI domain
https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+git/groovy/commit/drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c?h=Ubuntu-azure-5.8.0-1016.17&id=b72f314d15ab0ad7b80b761d8167962300c1bd35

[Test Case]

As per #1816106, instances with multiple GPUs should still be able to
see all of them.

[Where problems could occur]

Issues or oops in instances types with multiple GPUs.
