We need to use another "default" value than zero for 'dma_sync_size' in
above calls.  I suggest either 0xFFFFFFFF or -1 (which unsigned is
0xFFFFFFFF).

Point is that in case caller doesn't know the length (the CPU have had
access to) then page_pool will need to sync with pool->p.max_len.

If choosing a larger value here default value your code below takes
care of it via min(dma_sync_size, pool->p.max_len).
