This reverts commita580ea994f. This revert is to resolve Dragos's report of page_pool leak here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240424165646.1625690-2-dtatulea@nvidia.com/ The reverted patch interacts very badly with commit2cc3aeb5ec("skbuff: Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets"). The reverted commit hopes that the pp_recycle + is_pp_page variables do not change between the skb_frag_ref and skb_frag_unref operation. If such a change occurs, the skb_frag_ref/unref will not operate on the same reference type. In the case of Dragos's report, the grabbed ref was a pp ref, but the unref was a page ref, because the pp_recycle setting on the skb was changed. Attempting to fix this issue on the fly is risky. Lets revert and I hope to reland this with better understanding and testing to ensure we don't regress some edge case while streamlining skb reffing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
