This reverts commit 13b7e6a96a005c656d38f3da51581deaf9866375.

That commit made mt76_dma_cleanup() disable every RX NAPI instance before
deleting it, to silence WARNs in __netif_napi_del_locked() and
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() seen when unloading mt7915e with an
MT7916.

On mt7921e and mt7925e the same instances are already disabled earlier,
in mt7921e_unregister_device() and mt7925e_unregister_device(), which
only afterwards call mt792x_dma_cleanup() -> mt76_dma_cleanup().  Each
instance is therefore disabled twice, and napi_disable() is not
idempotent: on return it leaves NAPIF_STATE_SCHED and NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC
set, so the second call spins in usleep_range() forever, waiting for bits
that nobody will clear.

mt7921_pci_shutdown() and mt7925_pci_shutdown() reuse the remove path, so
this is hit on every reboot, poweroff and module unload.  It is silent:
the stuck task keeps sleeping and rescheduling, so neither the hung task
detector nor the lockup detectors fire, and the last line on the console
is "systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting."

Dropping the two driver-side loops instead was tried and rejected: with
them gone, the RX poll can reach mt76_token_release() via
PKT_TYPE_TXRX_NOTIFY and mt7921_mac_tx_free() while
mt76_connac2_tx_token_put() is running idr_destroy(&dev->token) outside
token_lock, which is a use-after-free rather than a hang [1].

Revert for now, so that reboot, poweroff and module unload work again.
The WARNs on mt7915e are a less severe problem than an unbootable
machine, and fixing them belongs in the drivers that delete the NAPI
instances, where each one can pick a point that is safe for its own
teardown order, rather than in the shared mt76_dma_cleanup().

[ This is the "landing soonish" known regression fix mentioned in the
  previous networking merge commit       - Linus ]
