Tim Sell 9c70ee32ff 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.

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
