I am not sure I am following the reasoning here.  The only extra thing
page_pool_free() does is disconnect the pool. So I assume no one will
call page_pool_uninit() directly.  Do you expect page_pool_free() to
grow in the future, so factoring out the uninit makes the code easier
to read?

I'm calling it from the unwind patch of page_pool_create() in the next
patch, because I'm adding another setup state after page_pool_init().
I can't put the free into _uninit() because on the unwind path of
_create() that's an individual step.
