Functions starting with __ usually indicate those which are exported,
but should not be called directly. Update some of those declared in the
API and make it more readable.

page_pool_unmap_page() and page_pool_release_page() were doing
exactly the same thing. Keep the page_pool_release_page() variant
and export it in order to show up on perf logs.
Finally rename __page_pool_put_page() to page_pool_put_page() since we
can now directly call it from drivers and rename the existing
page_pool_put_page() to page_pool_put_full_page() since they do the same
thing but the latter is trying to sync the full DMA area.

Also update netsec, mvneta and stmmac drivers which use those functions.

Applied to net-next, thanks.
