Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] net: add sysfs attribute to control napi threaded mode

this patch addis a new sysfs attribute to the network
device class. Said attribute is a bitmask that allows controlling
the threaded mode for all the napi instances of the given
network device.

The threaded mode can be switched only if related network device
is down.
