commit a4dcfbc4ee2218abd567d81d795082d8d4afcdf6 upstream.
netif_device_attach() will unpause the queues so we can't call
it before __alx_open(). This went undetected until
commit b0999223f224 ("alx: add ability to allocate and free
alx_napi structures") but now if stack tries to xmit immediately
on resume before __alx_open() we'll crash on the NAPI being null:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
