This commit mainly addresses the threaded config to make the switch between softirq based and kthread based NAPI processing not require a device down/up. It also moves the kthread_create() call to the sysfs handler when user tries to enable "threaded" on napi, and properly handles the kthread_create() failure. This is because certain drivers do not have the napi created and linked to the dev when dev_open() is called. So the previous implementation does not work properly there.
