page_pool: introduce page_pool_alloc() API
Currently page pool supports the below use cases:
use case 1: allocate page without page splitting using
page_pool_alloc_pages() API if the driver knows
that the memory it need is always bigger than
half of the page allocated from page pool.
use case 2: allocate page frag with page splitting using
page_pool_alloc_frag() API if the driver knows
that the memory it need is always smaller than
or equal to the half of the page allocated from
page pool.
There is emerging use case [1] & [2] that is a mix of the
above two case: the driver doesn't know the size of memory it
need beforehand, so the driver may use something like below to
allocate memory with least memory utilization and performance
penalty:
if (size << 1 > max_size)
page = page_pool_alloc_pages();
else
page = page_pool_alloc_frag();
To avoid the driver doing something like above, add the
page_pool_alloc() API to support the above use case, and update
the true size of memory that is acctually allocated by updating
'*size' back to the driver in order to avoid exacerbating
truesize underestimate problem.
Rename page_pool_free() which is used in the destroy process to
__page_pool_destroy() to avoid confusion with the newly added
API.
