It seems there is still page_pool_put[_full]_page() called with
allow_direct being true after page_pool_destroy() is call, which
is not allowed.

Normally the driver will call napi_disable() before
page_pool_destroy() to ensure there is no such page_pool_destroy()
calling with allow_direct being true after page_pool_destroy() is
called.

The checking seems racy when  __page_pool_put_page() and
page_pool_destroy() are called concurently.
