Subject: [net-next 14/16] i40evf: disable NAPI polling sooner

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

When closing the interface, disable NAPI polling before any other
activities. This fixes an occasional panic during close caused by the
driver trying to delete and clean rings at the same time.
