->pp_magic field in struct page is current used to identify if a page belongs to a page pool. However, ->pp_magic will be removed and page type bit in struct page e.i. PGTY_netpp can be used for that purpose. Introduce and use the page type APIs e.g. PageNetpp(), __SetPageNetpp(), and __ClearPageNetpp() instead, and remove the existing APIs accessing ->pp_magic e.g. page_pool_page_is_pp(), netmem_or_pp_magic(), and netmem_clear_pp_magic(). This work was inspired by the following link: [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/582f41c0-2742-4400-9c81-0d46bf4e8314@gmail.com/ (local) While at it, move the sanity check for page pool to on free.

Shouldn't you replace the page_pool_page_is_pp check with a PageNetpp check in this call site and below? Or is that no longer necessary for some reason?
