[PATCH] net: Destroy previously created kthreads after failing to set napi threaded mode
From: Zqiang
Date: Thu Jun 29 2023 - 23:27:20 EST
When setting 1 to enable napi threaded mode, will traverse dev->napi_list
and create kthread for napi->thread, if creation fails, the dev->threaded
will be set to false and we will clear NAPI_STATE_THREADED bit for all
napi->state in dev->napi_list, even if some napi that has successfully
created the kthread before. as a result, for successfully created napi
kthread, they will never be used.
This commit therefore destroy previously created napi->thread if setting
napi threaded mode fails.
