Sorry, we raced a bit here. Jakub merged my "page_pool_alloc_netmem",
which does similar to what this patch does.

I freed the page_pool_alloc_netmem name by doing a rename, and now
page_pool_alloc_netmem is the netmem counterpart to page_pool_alloc. I
did not however add a page_pool_dev_alloc equivalent.

My series also adds page_pool_dma_sync_netmem_for_cpu, which should be
the same as your page_pool_dma_sync_for_cpu_netmem.
