commit 7489bdadb7d1 (r8152: check rx after napi is enabled) causes null
pointer dereference when using device as under root:

 # rmmod r8152 # or lsusb -v
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

NOTE: This is just a workaround, I suppose, there is better way how to fix that
(which allows keeping scheduling the napi for rx after napi_enable()).
