mvpp2: recycle buffers

Use the new recycling API for page_pool.
In a drop rate test, the packet rate is almost doubled,
from 1110 Kpps to 2128 Kpps.

perf top on a stock system shows:

With packet rate stable at 1100 Kpps:

tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.7 Mbps 1110 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.6 Mbps 1110 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.4 Mbps 1109 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.1 Mbps 1109 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 531.9 Mbps 1108 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 531.9 Mbps 1108 Kpps

And this is the same output with recycling enabled:

With packet rate above 2100 Kpps:

tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2127 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1022 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1022 Mbps 2129 Kpps

The major performance increase is explained by the fact that the most CPU
consuming functions (page_pool_release_page, page_frag_free and
free_unref_page) are no longer called on a per packet basis.

The test was done by sending to the macchiatobin 64 byte ethernet frames
with an invalid ethertype, so the packets are dropped early in the RX path.
