Alexander Lobakin 403f11ac9a page_pool: don't use driver-set flags field directly
page_pool::p is driver-defined params, copied directly from the
structure passed to page_pool_create(). The structure isn't meant
to be modified by the Page Pool core code and this even might look
confusing[0][1].
In order to be able to alter some flags, let's define our own, internal
fields the same way as the already existing one (::has_init_callback).
They are defined as bits in the driver-set params, leave them so here
as well, to not waste byte-per-bit or so. Almost 30 bits are still free
for future extensions.
We could've defined only new flags here or only the ones we may need
to alter, but checking some flags in one place while others in another
doesn't sound convenient or intuitive. ::flags passed by the driver can
now go to the "slow" PP params.
