kernel: Revert "wireguard: device: enable threaded NAPI"

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's WireGuard component. Under heavy network load, particularly when used with Cilium, the threaded NAPI New API implementation can cause the decryption side for a WireGuard peer to stop processing traffic. This leads to a complete stall of network communication...
