Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] page_pool: check for dma_sync_size earlier

Setting dma_sync_size to 0 is not illegal, fec_main.c and ravb_main.c
already did.
We can save a couple of function calls if check for dma_sync_size earlier.

This is a micro optimization, about 0.6% PPS performance improvement
has been observed on a single Cortex-A53 CPU core with 64 bytes UDP RX
traffic test.

Before this patch:
The average of packets per second is 234026 in one minute.

After this patch:
The average of packets per second is 235537 in one minute.
