Subject: [PATCH v2 net] ixgbevf: fix invalid uses of napi_hash_del()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Calling napi_hash_del() before netif_napi_del() is dangerous
if a synchronize_rcu() is not enforced before NAPI struct freeing.

Lets leave this detail to core networking stack to get it right.
