While implementing NAPI for the driver, I overlooked the race conditions where
interrupt  handler might have called napi_schedule_prep() before napi_enable()
was called or after napi_disable() was called. If RX interrupt happens, this
would cause the endless interrupts and messages like:

sh-eth eth0: ignoring interrupt, status 0x00040000, mask 0x01ff009f.

The interrupt wouldn't even be masked by the kernel eventually since the handler
would return IRQ_HANDLED all the time.

As a fix, move napi_enable() call before request_irq() call and napi_disable()
call after free_irq() call.
