accessors to skb_frag_t field are now consolidated to
include/linux/skbuff.h (the one IB driver was fixed in Sept by
4ececeb83986), so changing skb_frag_t from bio_vec to something like:

typedef struct skb_frag {
	void *addr;
	unsigned int length;
	unsigned int offset;
};

is trivial. From there, addr can default to `struct page *`. If LSB is
set, strip it and return `struct page_pool_iov *` or `struct buffer_pool *`
