Drivers should always disable a NAPI instance before removing it.
If they don't the instance may be queued for polling.
Since commit 86e25f40aa ("net: napi: Add napi_config")
we also remove the NAPI from the busy polling hash table
in napi_disable(), so not disabling would leave a stale
entry there.
Use of busy polling is relatively uncommon so bugs may be lurking
in the drivers. Add an explicit warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
