Abstract the memory type from the page_pool so we can later add support
for new memory types. Convert the page_pool to use the new netmem type
abstraction, rather than use struct page directly.
As of this patch the netmem type is a no-op abstraction: it's always a
struct page underneath. All the page pool internals are converted to
use struct netmem instead of struct page, and the page pool now exports
2 APIs:
1. The existing struct page API.
2. The new struct netmem API.
Keeping the existing API is transitional; we do not want to refactor all
the current drivers using the page pool at once.
The netmem abstraction is currently a no-op. The page_pool uses
page_to_netmem() to convert allocated pages to netmem, and uses
netmem_to_page() to convert the netmem back to pages to pass to mm APIs,
Follow up patches to this series add non-paged netmem support to the
page_pool. This change is factored out on its own to limit the code
churn to this 1 patch, for ease of code review.
