Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: usb: lan78xx: fix WARN in __netif_napi_del_locked on disconnect

Remove redundant netif_napi_del() call from disconnect path.

A WARN may be triggered in __netif_napi_del_locked() during USB device
disconnect:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/core/dev.c:7417 __netif_napi_del_locked+0x2b4/0x350

This happens because netif_napi_del() is called in the disconnect path while
NAPI is still enabled. However, it is not necessary to call netif_napi_del()
explicitly, since unregister_netdev() will handle NAPI teardown automatically
and safely. Removing the redundant call avoids triggering the warning.
