The page_pool_request_shutdown() API return indication if there are any
in-flight frames/pages, to know when it is safe to call
page_pool_free(), which you are also missing a call to.

This page_pool_request_shutdown() is only intended to be called from
xdp_rxq_info_unreg() code, that handles and schedule a work queue if it
need to wait for in-flight frames/pages.
