Subject: virtio-net: correctly delete napi hash

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ab3971b1e7d72270a2a259a29c1a40351b889740 ]

We don't delete napi from hash list during module exit. This will
cause the following panic when doing module load and unload:

This patch fixes this by doing this in virtnet_free_queues(). And also
don't delete napi in virtnet_freeze() since it will call
virtnet_free_queues() which has already did this.
