Mina Almasry 173e7622cc Revert "net: mirror skb frag ref/unref helpers"
This reverts commit a580ea994fd37f4105028f5a85c38ff6508a2b25.

This revert is to resolve Dragos's report of page_pool leak here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240424165646.1625690-2-dtatulea@nvidia.com/

The reverted patch interacts very badly with commit 2cc3aeb5eccc ("skbuff:
Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets"). The reverted
commit hopes that the pp_recycle + is_pp_page variables do not change
between the skb_frag_ref and skb_frag_unref operation. If such a change
occurs, the skb_frag_ref/unref will not operate on the same reference type.
In the case of Dragos's report, the grabbed ref was a pp ref, but the unref
was a page ref, because the pp_recycle setting on the skb was changed.

Attempting to fix this issue on the fly is risky. Lets revert and I hope
to reland this with better understanding and testing to ensure we don't
regress some edge case while streamlining skb reffing.
