There is a single error path where tfile->napi_mutex is left unlocked.
It can lead to a deadlock.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

I do not believe this can happen for IFF_TUN

IFF_NAPI_FRAGS can only be set for IFF_TAP

As Eric explained, tun_napi_frags_enabled() (and therefore 'frags')
will never be true for TUN devices, which is the type handled by this
code path.
