xen-netback: move netif_napi_add before binding interrupt
Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns. If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked. NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS. This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI add/remove calls"). Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and refactor the code with another patch.
