This fixes the below crash when ath10k probe firmware fails,
NAPI polling tries to access a rx ring resource which was never
allocated, fix this by disabling NAPI right away once the probe
firmware fails by calling 'ath10k_hif_stop'. Its good to note
that the error is never propogated to 'ath10k_pci_probe' when
ath10k_core_register fails, so calling 'ath10k_hif_stop' to cleanup
PCI related things seems to be ok
