Looking at this, and Ilias'es XDP-netsec error handling path, it might
be a mistake that I removed page_pool_destroy() and instead put the
responsibility on xdp_rxq_info_unreg().

As here, we have to detect if page_pool_create() was a success, and then
if xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() was a failure, explicitly call
page_pool_free() because the xdp_rxq_info_unreg() call cannot "free"
the page_pool object given it was not registered.  

Ivan's patch in[1], might be a better approach, which forced all
drivers to explicitly call page_pool_free(), even-though it just
dec-refcnt and the real call to page_pool_free() happened via
xdp_rxq_info_unreg().

To better handle error path, I would re-introduce page_pool_destroy(),
as a driver API, that would gracefully handle NULL-pointer case, and
then call page_pool_free() with the atomic_dec_and_test().  (It should
hopefully simplify the error handling code a bit)

Are you sure you need to test xdp_rxq_info_is_reg() here?

You should just call xdp_rxq_info_unreg(rxq), if you know that this rxq
should be registered.  If your assumption failed, you will get a
WARNing, and discover your driver level bug.  This is one of the ways
the API is designed to "detect" misuse of the API.  (I found this
rather useful, when I converted the approx 12 drivers using this
xdp_rxq_info API).
