I assume you mean "atomic_long_read()" here.

So the one thing I might change would be to make it so that you only
do the atomic_long_read if nr is a constant via __builtin_constant_p.
That way you would be performing the comparison in
__page_pool_put_page and in the cases of freeing or draining the
page_frags you would be using the atomic_long_sub_return which should
be paths where you would not expect it to match or that are slowpath
anyway.
Also I would keep the WARN_ON in both paths just to be on the safe side.
