This reverts commit a580ea994fd37f4105028f5a85c38ff6508a2b25.

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 commit 2cc3aeb5eccc ("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.

Refactor some of the skb frag ref/unref helpers for improved clarity.

Implement napi_pp_get_page() to be the mirror counterpart of
napi_pp_put_page().

Implement skb_page_ref() to be the mirror of skb_page_unref().

Improve __skb_frag_ref() to become a mirror counterpart of
__skb_frag_unref(). Previously unref could handle pp &amp; non-pp pages,
while the ref could only handle non-pp pages. Now both the ref &amp; unref
helpers can correctly handle both pp &amp; non-pp pages.

Now that __skb_frag_ref() can handle both pp &amp; non-pp pages, remove
skb_pp_frag_ref(), and use __skb_frag_ref() instead.  This lets us
remove pp specific handling from skb_try_coalesce.

Additionally, since __skb_frag_ref() can now handle both pp &amp; non-pp
pages, a latent issue in skb_shift() should now be fixed. Previously
this function would do a non-pp ref &amp; pp unref on potential pp frags
(fragfrom). After this patch, skb_shift() should correctly do a pp
ref/unref on pp frags.

<title>net: move skb ref helpers to new header</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6d827b180bda01f8805bf5e85307419b0d6f890</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new header, linux/skbuff_ref.h, which contains all the skb_*_ref()
helpers. Many of the consumers of skbuff.h do not actually use any of
the skb ref helpers, and we can speed up compilation a bit by minimizing
this header file.

Additionally in the later patch in the series we add page_pool support
to skb_frag_ref(), which requires some page_pool dependencies. We can
now add these dependencies to skbuff_ref.h instead of a very ubiquitous
skbuff.h
