    wifi: mt76: disable napi on driver removal

    A warning on driver removal started occurring after commit 9dd05df8403b
    (net: warn if NAPI instance wasn't shut down). Disable tx napi before
    deleting it in mt76_dma_cleanup().

     WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 18828 at net/core/dev.c:7288 __netif_napi_del_locked+0xf0/0x100

    Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other
    mt76 drivers calling mt76_dma_cleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled
    in their *_dma_init() functions and only toggled off and on again inside
    their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx
    napi in such a generic way.
