AFAIU we don't have to check for pp_recycle, at least not in this specific case.

We'd also need to add is_pp_page() in the header with the changes above...

On that line of thought, unless these new APIs are useful for other use-cases,
why not keep it simple:
- Move is_pp_page() to skbuff.h.
- Do a simple is_pp_page(page) ? page_pool_put_full_page(page):put_page(page) in
the caller? Checking skb->pp_recycle would not be needed.
