Makes the ion buffer always alloced from page pool, no matter

Currently, there is no difference from cached or non-cached buffer
for the page pool.


The advantage of the uncached pool was that the pages in the pool
were always clean in the cache. This is lost here with the addition
of cached pages to the same pool as uncached pages I agree the
cache path could benefit from pooling but we need to keep the caching
model consistent.
