Subject: [PATCH] sfc: Match calls to netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del()

sfc could call netif_napi_add() multiple times for the same
napi_struct, corrupting the list of napi_structs for the associated
device and leading to a busy-loop on device removal.  Move the call to
netif_napi_add() and add a call to netif_napi_del() in the obvious
places.
