Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 412/486] net: page_pool: avoid false positive warning if NAPI was never added

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit c1e00bc4be06cacee6307cedb9b55bbaddb5044d ]

We expect NAPI to be in disabled state when page pool is torn down.
But it is also legal if the NAPI is completely uninitialized.
