It make more sense to add a new dir for page pool if there are
more new headers added. As we are still keeping the page_pool.h
mirroring include/linux/gpio.h, adding a new dir for only one
header file only add another level of dir without abvious benefit.
We can add a new dir for it if we turn out to be needing more header
file for page pool in the future, does it make sense?
