page_is_pfmemalloc() is used mostly by networking drivers to test

It doesn't write anything to the struct page itself, so its sole
argument can be constified, as well as the first argument of
skb_propagate_pfmemalloc().
In Page Pool core code, it can be simply inlined instead.
Most of the callers from NIC drivers were just doppelgangers of
the same condition tests. Derive them into a new common function
do deduplicate the code.
Please resend, this did not get into patchwork :/
