drivers/net: use tasklet_kill in device remove/close process
Some driver uses tasklet_disable in device remove/close process, tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet is not handled yet because some softirq pressure, the tasklet will placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to excute. This might lead to ksoftirqd heavy loaded, wakeup with pending_softirq, but tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case.
