Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 1/1] net: usb: lan78xx: fix WARN in __netif_napi_del_locked on disconnect

A WARN may be triggered in __netif_napi_del_locked() during USB device
disconnect:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/core/dev.c:7417 __netif_napi_del_locked+0x2b4/0x350

This occurs because NAPI remains enabled when the device is unplugged and
teardown begins. While `napi_disable()` was previously called in the
`lan78xx_stop()` path, that function is not invoked on disconnect. Instead,
when using PHYLINK, the `mac_link_down()` callback is guaranteed to run
during disconnect, making it the correct place to disable NAPI.

Similarly, move `napi_enable()` to `mac_link_up()` to pair the lifecycle
with actual MAC state.

Full trace:

This patch is intended for `net-next` since the issue existed before the
PHYLINK migration, but is more naturally and cleanly addressed now that
PHYLINK manages link state transitions.
