Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/6] net: skbuff: avoid accessing page_pool if !napi_safe when returning page

Currently, pp->p.napi is always read, but the actual variable it gets
assigned to is read-only when @napi_safe is true. For the !napi_safe
cases, which yet is still a pack, it's an unneeded operation.
Moreover, it can lead to premature or even redundant page_pool
cacheline access. For example, when page_pool_is_last_frag() returns
false (with the recent frag improvements).
Thus, read it only when @napi_safe is true. This also allows moving
@napi inside the condition block itself. Constify it while we are
here, because why not.
