Use the page pool allocator for the data buffers and enable skb recycling
support, instead of relying on netdev_alloc_skb allocating the entire skb
during the refill.

Do you have any benchmark numbers for this change? Often swapping to
page pool improves the performance of the driver, and i use it as a
selling point for doing the conversion, independent of XDP.

Good point. I'll collect some numbers and add them here.

Thanks
