commit a4dcfbc4ee2218abd567d81d795082d8d4afcdf6 upstream.

netif_device_attach() will unpause the queues so we can't call
it before __alx_open(). This went undetected until
commit b0999223f224 ("alx: add ability to allocate and free
alx_napi structures") but now if stack tries to xmit immediately
on resume before __alx_open() we'll crash on the NAPI being null:
