Revert "net: mirror skb frag ref/unref helpers"
This reverts commit a580ea99. This revert is to resolve Dragos's report of page_pool leak here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240424165646.1625690-2-dtatulea@nvidia.com/ The reverted patch interacts very badly with commit 2cc3aeb5 ("skbuff: Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets"). The reverted commit hopes that the pp_recycle + is_pp_page variables do not change between the skb_frag_ref and skb_frag_unref operation. If such a change occurs, the skb_frag_ref/unref will not operate on the same reference type. In the case of Dragos's report, the grabbed ref was a pp ref, but the unref was a page ref, because the pp_recycle setting on the skb was changed. Attempting to fix this issue on the fly is risky. Lets revert and I hope to reland this with better understanding and testing to ensure we don't regress some edge case while streamlining skb reffing.
