This change doesn't make any sense.

If anything the test should be the other way around, use of
napi interfaces should be used when R8169_NAPI is set.
You're just papering around some other bug in the NAPI support
of this driver, which someone will need to figure out and fix
correctly.
But thanks for the report, and the patch, whilst bogus, might
provide a clue.
