Refactor some of the skb frag ref/unref helpers for improved clarity. Implement napi_pp_get_page() to be the mirror counterpart of napi_pp_put_page(). Implement skb_page_ref() to be the mirror of skb_page_unref(). Improve __skb_frag_ref() to become a mirror counterpart of __skb_frag_unref(). Previously unref could handle pp & non-pp pages, while the ref could only handle non-pp pages. Now both the ref & unref helpers can correctly handle both pp & non-pp pages. Now that __skb_frag_ref() can handle both pp & non-pp pages, remove skb_pp_frag_ref(), and use __skb_frag_ref() instead. This lets us remove pp specific handling from skb_try_coalesce. Additionally, since __skb_frag_ref() can now handle both pp & non-pp pages, a latent issue in skb_shift() should now be fixed. Previously this function would do a non-pp ref & pp unref on potential pp frags (fragfrom). After this patch, skb_shift() should correctly do a pp ref/unref on pp frags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
