net: Use NAPI_* in test_bit when stopping napi kthread

napi_stop_kthread waits for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED to be unset
before stopping the kthread. But it uses test_bit with the
NAPIF_STATE_SCHED_THREADED and that might stop the kthread early before
the flag is unset.

Use the NAPI_* variant of the NAPI state bits in test_bit instead.

Tested:
./tools/testing/selftests/net/nl_netdev.py
TAP version 13

ok 1 nl_netdev.empty_check
ok 2 nl_netdev.lo_check
ok 3 nl_netdev.page_pool_check
ok 4 nl_netdev.napi_list_check
ok 5 nl_netdev.dev_set_threaded
ok 6 nl_netdev.napi_set_threaded
ok 7 nl_netdev.nsim_rxq_reset_down
# Totals: pass:7 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

./tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/napi_threaded.py
TAP version 13
1..2
ok 1 napi_threaded.change_num_queues
ok 2 napi_threaded.enable_dev_threaded_disable_napi_threaded
# Totals: pass:2 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
