When sending an xdp_frame through xdp_do_redirect call, then error
cases can happen where the xdp_frame needs to be dropped, and
returning an -errno code isn't sufficient/possible any-longer
(e.g. for cpumap case). This is already fully supported, by simply
calling xdp_return_frame.
This patch is an optimization, which provides xdp_return_frame_rx_napi,
which is a faster variant for these error cases. It take advantage of
the protection provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection.
This change is mostly relevant for drivers using the page_pool
allocator as it can take advantage of this. (Tested with mlx5).

New allocator type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL for page_pool usage.
The registered allocator page_pool pointer is not available directly
from xdp_rxq_info, but it could be (if needed). For now, the driver
should keep separate track of the page_pool pointer, which it should
use for RX-ring page allocation.
As suggested by Saeed, to maintain a symmetric API it is the drivers
responsibility to allocate/create and free/destroy the page_pool.
Thus, after the driver have called xdp_rxq_info_unreg(), it is drivers
responsibility to free the page_pool, but with a RCU free call. This
is done easily via the page_pool helper page_pool_destroy() (which
avoids touching any driver code during the RCU callback, which could
happen after the driver have been unloaded).
V8: address issues found by kbuild test robot
- Address sparse should be static warnings
- Allow xdp.o to be compiled without page_pool.o
V9: Remove inline from .c file, compiler knows best

Need a fast page recycle mechanism for ndo_xdp_xmit API for returning
pages on DMA-TX completion time, which have good cross CPU
performance, given DMA-TX completion time can happen on a remote CPU.
Refurbish my page_pool code, that was presented[1] at MM-summit 2016.
Adapted page_pool code to not depend the page allocator and
integration into struct page. The DMA mapping feature is kept,
even-though it will not be activated/used in this patchset.

V2: Adjustments requested by Tariq
- Changed page_pool_create return codes, don't return NULL, only
ERR_PTR, as this simplifies err handling in drivers.
V4: many small improvements and cleanups
- Add DOC comment section, that can be used by kernel-doc
- Improve fallback mode, to work better with refcnt based recycling
e.g. remove a WARN as pointed out by Tariq
e.g. quicker fallback if ptr_ring is empty.
V5: Fixed SPDX license as pointed out by Alexei
V6: Adjustments requested by Eric Dumazet
- Adjust ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp usage/placement
- Move rcu_head in struct page_pool
- Free pages quicker on destroy, minimize resources delayed an RCU period
- Remove code for forward/backward compat ABI interface
V8: Issues found by kbuild test robot
- Address sparse should be static warnings
- Only compile+link when a driver use/select page_pool,
mlx5 selects CONFIG_PAGE_POOL, although its first used in two patches
