staging: unisys: visornic: prevent hang doing 'modprobe -r visornic'
A stray+extraneous 'netif_napi_add()' that we were doing in visornic_probe() was causing havoc when we got into visornic_remove(), called during 'modprobe -r visornic'. The symptom was a processor busy-wait loop on the modprobe process, which '/proc/<pid>/stack' would show looping doing napi things. Presumably the stray line got there as a result of some merging snafoo, and has been deleted to fix the problem. With this patch 'modprobe -r visornic' and a subsequent 'modprobe visornic' both complete successfully, and result in an operational network.
