Subject: [PATCH net] page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit arches

Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on
boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set
too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which
crashes the machine.

Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool
code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes
the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel
pointers for page_pool-tagged pages.

The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field
always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the
lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the
PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives.

Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time
constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the
dma_index storage when there are no bits available. This leaves us in
the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but only on
a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the best we
can do until the transition to page types in complete for page_pool
pages.

Sorry for the delay on getting this out. I have only compile-tested it,
since I don't have any hardware that triggers the original bug. Helge, I'm
hoping you can take it for a spin?
