net: stmmac: fix kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of xsk_pool

After free xsk_pool, there is possibility that napi polling is still
running in the middle, thus causes a kernel crash due to kernel NULL
pointer dereference of rx_q->xsk_pool and tx_q->xsk_pool.

Fix this by changing the XDP pool setup sequence to:
 1. disable napi before free xsk_pool
 2. enable napi after init xsk_pool

The following kernel panic is observed without this patch:
