No need to write ndev->mtu, same below, because __netif_set_mtu() will
help update it.

running is only used once, so we can use netif_running(ndev) directly
to simplify the code.

I'm not sure whether read_poll_timeout() is necessary, because I
get the info from the kernel doc of napi_disable()

/**
 * napi_disable() - prevent NAPI from scheduling
 * @n: NAPI context
 *
 * Stop NAPI from being scheduled on this context.
 * Waits till any outstanding processing completes.
 * Takes netdev_lock() for associated net_device.
