Let say, if the driver call a function that lead to gro_normal_one(), and add a skb to the rx_list while the napi poll is not scheduled, and the driver remove the napi context before a napi poll could be triggered, then the added skb will be lost.

I think the real bug is in drivers/net/tun.c

It can call napi_gro_frags() and I do not see corresponding napi_complete()

This seems completely bogus.

Your patch only works around one the many bugs caused by 
commit 90e33d45940793def6f773b2d528e9f3c84ffdc7 tun: enable napi_gro_frags() for TUN/TAP driver

I suggest not adding your patch, because we should fix the root cause.
