Neat trick with just referencing the pointer to the global object inside
the page_pool. With just a few nits below:

Should we call this pp_system_recycle_stats to be consistent with the
naming of the other global variable?

Maybe add a short comment here to explain what's going on? Something
like:

/* When a cpuid is supplied, we're initialising the percpu system page pool
 * instance, so use a singular stats object instead of allocating a
 * separate percpu variable for each (also percpu) page pool instance.
 */
