[PATCH net-next v11 02/12] netmem: use netmem_desc instead of page to access ->pp in __netmem_get_pp()

To eliminate the use of the page pool fields in struct page, the page
pool code should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead.
However, __netmem_get_pp() still accesses ->pp via struct page. So
change it to use struct netmem_desc instead, since ->pp no longer will
be available in struct page.
While at it, add a helper, __netmem_to_nmdesc(), that can be used to
unsafely get pointer to netmem_desc backing the netmem_ref, only when
the netmem_ref is always backed by system memory.
