This patch allows running each napi poll loop inside its own
kernel thread.
The kthread is created during netif_napi_add() if dev->threaded
is set. And threaded mode is enabled in napi_enable(). We will
provide a way to set dev->threaded and enable threaded mode
without a device up/down in the following patch.

Once that threaded mode is enabled and the kthread is
started, napi_schedule() will wake-up such thread instead
of scheduling the softirq.

The threaded poll loop behaves quite likely the net_rx_action,
but it does not have to manipulate local irqs and uses
an explicit scheduling point based on netdev_budget.

So I think the napi_kthread_stop should also be split into two parts
and distributed between the napi_disable and netif_napi_del functions.

We should probably be clearing the NAPI_STATE_THREADED bit in
napi_disable, and freeing the thread in netif_napi_del.

So I think there may be an issue here since we had netif_napi_add
create the thread, but you are freeing it in napi_kthread_stop if I am
not mistaken. That is why I suggested making this only a clear_bit
call like the ones below to just clear the threaded flag from the
state.
