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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
