We have added a lot of 'if' for the devmem case, it would be better to
make it more generic so that we can have more unified metadata handling
for normal page and devmem. If we add another memory type here, do we
need another 'if' here?
That is part of the reason I suggested using a more unified metadata for
all the types of memory chunks used by page_pool.
