virtio-net: fix the race between refill work and close

[ Upstream commit 5a159128 ]

We try using cancel_delayed_work_sync() to prevent the work from
enabling NAPI. This is insufficient since we don't disable the source
of the refill work scheduling. This means an NAPI poll callback after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() can schedule the refill work then can
re-enable the NAPI that leads to use-after-free [1].

Since the work can enable NAPI, we can't simply disable NAPI before
calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(). So fix this by introducing a
dedicated boolean to control whether or not the work could be
scheduled from NAPI.
