To eliminate the use of struct page in page pool, the page pool users should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead. Make mlx4 access ->pp_ref_count through netmem_desc instead of page. While at it, add a helper, pp_page_to_nmdesc() and __pp_page_to_nmdesc(), that can be used to get netmem_desc from page only if it's a pp page. For now that netmem_desc overlays on page, it can be achieved by just casting, and use macro and _Generic to cover const casting as well. Plus, change page_pool_page_is_pp() to check for 'const struct page *' instead of 'struct page *' since it doesn't modify data and additionally covers const type.

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.
