> Meanwhile, mana_create_txq() and mana_create_rxq() in mana_open() path call
> NAPI APIs (netif_napi_add_tx(), netif_napi_add_weight(), napi_enable()), which
> also try to acquire the same lock, risking deadlock.
>
> Similarly in the teardown path (mana_close()), netif_napi_disable() and
> netif_napi_del(), contend for the same lock.

> Switch to the _locked variants of these APIs to avoid deadlocks when the
