allocate a page fragment.

the precedent is set in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/vm/page_frags.html
foo_frag is used in C code, and foo fragment in English docs.
Sure.

It seems I need to respin anyway as the newly merged idpf driver
from intel is also using the frag API, and removing PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG
flag breaks it.

And idpf driver really should be using the new API instead of
selecting which API to use according to the buf_size as below
in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_txrx.h, as it seems to
be assuming PAGE_SIZE always being 4K, and we may be able to
enable page split for buf_size > 2048 and PAGE_SIZE > 4K if using
the new API.

static inline dma_addr_t idpf_alloc_page(struct page_pool *pool,
                                         struct idpf_rx_buf *buf,
                                         unsigned int buf_size)
{
        if (buf_size == IDPF_RX_BUF_2048)
                buf->page = page_pool_dev_alloc_frag(pool, &buf->page_offset,
                                                     buf_size);
        else
                buf->page = page_pool_dev_alloc_pages(pool);

        if (!buf->page)
                return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR;

        buf->truesize = buf_size;

        return page_pool_get_dma_addr(buf->page) + buf->page_offset +
               pool->p.offset;
}
