the caller is the NAPI poll function, you should pass that NAPI
as arg to rtl_rx() already instead of hardcoding [0] in this patch.

netif_set_real_num_queues() exists, just call it directly instead of
adding your own helper.

devm_add_action_or_reset() can fail (as the AI bots point out)
but this whole devm_ dance is entirely unnecessary
networking stack will automatically delete NAPI instances when device
is unregistered.
