It doesn't actually. page_pool_page_* helpers are compiled in
regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POOL, and handle both page_pool_iov* & page*
just fine (the checking happens inside the function).

You may yell at me that it's too confusing... I somewhat agree, but
I'm unsure of what is a better name or location for the helpers. The
helpers handle (page_pool_iov* || page*) gracefully, so they seem to
belong in the page pool for me, but it is indeed surprising/confusing
that these helpers are available even if !CONFIG_PAGE_POOL.
