Can you explain in more detail how this happened?

napi_disable() is normally called after cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This ensures
that all napi callbacks will end, and the new napi_disable() will wait.
There will be no re-enable napi.

So I guess the use-after-free is caused by refill_work being called after
dev/vi/napi is released. In this way, we can just call
cancel_delayed_work_sync() after napi_disalbe().

Thanks.
