[PATCH] sfc: Call netif_napi_add() before registering our interrupt handler

[Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>]

If we use a shared legacy IRQ then our interrupt handler may be called
as soon as it is registered even though IRQs are disabled on the NIC.
Now that the legacy interrupt handler also checks for event delivery,
it may decide to schedule polling in this case.  Ensure that the NAPI
context is valid but disabled at this point.

Please apply this to net-2.6; the bug it fixes is much easier to hit
following commit a9de9a74c69f75e9456cd6b45ecab44ff4c81d04
