The napi->rx_list is used to hold the GRO_NORMAL skbs before passing them to the stack, these skbs only passed to stack at the flush time or when the list's weight matches the predefined condition. In case the rx_list contains pending skbs when we remove the napi context, we need to clean out this list, otherwise, a memory leak will happen.
