Hmm... I'm not too happy with this change request.  I did this to avoid
having to recompile all the drivers files when I changed page_pool.h
(yes, the kernel makefile system detect the dependencies automatically).
I'll keep this, let me know if you feel strongly about this...

Okay, doing so.

Ok, I changed page_pool_create() return values to be a little more sane
(not returning NULL), so we can do as you suggest (else using PTR_ERR
directly for err can return zero, which indicate success for
mlx5e_alloc_rq() even when it failed...).

Okay, doing this, but you missed that we now need to call
mlx5e_page_dma_unmap(rq, dma_info) in two cases now.
