net: prevent deadlocks when enabling NAPIs with mixed kthread config
The following order of calls currently deadlocks if: - device has threaded=1; and - NAPI has persistent config with threaded=0. netif_napi_add_weight_config() dev->threaded == 1 napi_kthread_create() napi_enable() napi_restore_config() napi_set_threaded(0) napi_stop_kthread() while (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED) msleep(20) We deadlock because disabled NAPI has STATE_SCHED set. Creating a thread in netif_napi_add() just to destroy it in napi_disable() is fairly ugly in the first place. Let's read both the device config and the NAPI config in netif_napi_add().
