I got the following oops during interface ifup. Unfortunately its not
easily reproducable so I cant say for sure that my fix fixes this
problem, but I am confident and I think its correct anyway:

    <4> <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
    <4>

After looking at the code and the dump I think the following scenario
happened: Ifup was running on cpu2 and the interrupt arrived on cpu0.
Now virtnet_open on cpu 2 managed to execute napi_enable and disable_cb
but did not execute rx_schedule. Meanwhile on cpu 0 skb_recv_done was
called by vring_interrupt, executed netif_rx_schedule_prep, which
succeeded and therefore called disable_cb. This triggered the BUG_ON,
as interrupts were already disabled by cpu 2.

I think the proper solution is to make the call to disable_cb depend on
the atomic update of NAPI_STATE_SCHED by using netif_rx_schedule_prep
in the same way as skb_recv_done.
