Subject: [net-next PATCH 05/11] ixgbe: fix bug with napi add before request_irq

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

Occasionally if the driver was loaded in a system that
didn't support MSI-X or MSI and was on a shared interrupt,
the driver would then panic in NAPI on the first shared
interrupt because we hadn't called napi_add yet.

Solution: call napi_add before calling request_irq
