It seems the netif_napi_del operation is done in the free_candev
(free_netdev precisely).

list_for_each_entry_safe(p, n, &dev->napi_list, dev_list)
          netif_napi_del(p);

And list_add_rcu(&napi->dev_list, &dev->napi_list) is done in the
netif_napi_add.

Therefore, I suggest removing "netif_napi_del" operation in the
xcan_remove to match probe and remove function.
