This was after some feedback to unify the alloc/free path checks in v4.
But you raise a valid point - callers already know the mode via
virtnet_no_page_pool(). I can simplify this to just call
page_pool_put_page() directly, since virtnet_put_page() is only called
from paths that already checked we're using page_pool. Would you prefer
that?

No, we cannot use the page_pool DMA with vi->vdev->dev.parent in VDUSE
case because VDUSE uses its own address translation. virtqueue_dma_dev()
returns NULL, virtio doesn't use standard DMA API at all. Now that I
think about it, setting pp_params.dev in this branch is unnecessary
since it is never accessed. I can remove it, if you prefer.
