ath10k: fix napi crash during rmmod when probe firmware fails

commit 1427228d5869f5804b03d47acfa4a88122572a78 upstream.

This fixes the below crash when ath10k probe firmware fails, NAPI polling tries
to access a rx ring resource which was never allocated. An easy way to
reproduce this is easy to remove all the firmware files, load ath10k modules
and ath10k will crash when calling 'rmmod ath10k_pci'. The fix is to call
napi_enable() from ath10k_pci_hif_start() so that it matches with
napi_disable() being called from ath10k_pci_hif_stop().

Big thanks to Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan who debugged this and provided first
version of the fix. In this patch I just fix the actual problem in pci.c
instead of having a workaround in core.c.
