[NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE. 

Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress.

This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically
break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending
napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would
otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish).

Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit
(to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired
the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared.  Here, the test_and_set_bit()
provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops.

napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first
action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable
is pending.

As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in
netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves
this purpose.  And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what
we really want.
