IDK :(

pagecnt to mean suggests this is related to page refcount,
not page pool specific refcount.

More importantly bias is the large number by which we increment.
This counter counts how many of the bias references we actually
consumed. So how about bias_consumed? bias_used? bias_issued?
frags_alloced?
