Subject: [PATCH v2 00/24] Split netmem from struct page

The MM subsystem is trying to reduce struct page to a single pointer.
The first step towards that is splitting struct page by its individual
users, as has already been done with folio and slab.  This patchset does
that for netmem which is used for page pools.

There are some relatively significant reductions in kernel text size
from these changes.  They don't appear to affect performance at all,
but it's nice to save a bit of memory.

v2:
 - Rebase to next-20230105
 - Add kernel-doc for struct netmem
 - Add mlx5 compilation fixes from Jesper
 - Folded in minor nit from Alex Duyck
