r8152: Re-order napi_disable in rtl8152_close
Both rtl_work_func_t() and rtl8152_close() call napi_disable(). Since the two calls aren't protected by a lock, if the close function starts executing before the work function, we can get into a situation where the napi_disable() function is called twice in succession (first by rtl8152_close(), then by set_carrier()). In such a situation, the second call would loop indefinitely, since rtl8152_close() doesn't call napi_enable() to clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. The rtl8152_close() function in turn issues a cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and so it would wait indefinitely for the rtl_work_func_t() to complete. Since rtl8152_close() is called by a process holding rtnl_lock() which is requested by other processes, this eventually leads to a system deadlock and crash. Re-order the napi_disable() call to occur after the work function disabling and urb cancellation calls are issued.
