Subject: [PATCH net 13/16] ionic: disable napi when ionic_lif_init() fails

From: Brett Creeley <brett@...sando.io>

When the driver is going through reset, it will eventually call
ionic_lif_init(), which does a lot of re-initialization. One
of the re-initialization steps is to setup the adminq and
enable napi for it.  If something breaks after this point
we can end up with a kernel NULL pointer dereference through
ionic_adminq_napi.

Fix this by making sure to call napi_disable() in the cleanup
path of ionic_lif_init().  This forces any pending napi contexts
to finish and prevents them from being recalled before deleting
the napi context.

Fixes: 77ceb68e29cc ("ionic: Add notifyq support")
