'size' field is used as a 'frag_size' but here it means pool capacity.
I think it's better to keep 'size' for pool capacity and add
'buf_size' field to struct hwbm_pool.

What is a point of this condition? How possibly after checking if
capacity of pool is not exceeded, this one would ever be true?
