Merge branch 'minor-cleanups-to-skb-frag-ref-unref'

Mina Almasry says:

====================
Minor cleanups to skb frag ref/unref (part)

This series is largely motivated by a recent discussion where there was
some confusion on how to properly ref/unref pp pages vs non pp pages:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izOoO-EovwMwAm9tLYetwikNPxC0FKyVGu1TPJWSz4bGoA@mail.gmail.com/T/#t

There is some subtely there because pp uses page->pp_ref_count for
refcounting, while non-pp uses get_page()/put_page() for ref counting.
Getting the refcounting pairs wrong can lead to kernel crash.
