[PATCH net-next] virtio-net: make napi_tx param easier to grasp

[Koichiro Den]

The module param napi_tx needs not to be writable for now since we do
not have any means of activating/deactivating it online, which seems to
be a low priority. Also make it clear that napi_tx is disabled when it
has been dynamically disabled behind the scenes.
