Currently when PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG is set, the caller is not
expected to call page_pool_alloc_pages() directly because of
the PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG checking in __page_pool_put_page().

The patch removes the above checking to enable non-split page
support when PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG is set.

I really don't like that you add one atomic_long_set operation per page alloc call.
This is a fast-path for XDP use-cases, which you are ignoring as you drivers doesn't implement XDP.

As I cannot ask you to run XDP benchmarks, I fortunately have some page_pool specific microbenchmarks you can run instead.

I will ask you to provide before and after results from running these benchmarks [1] and [2].

How to use these module is documented here[3]:

This adds an atomic_long_read, even when PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG is not set.
