[PATCH net-next v12 03/12] netmem, mlx4: access ->pp_ref_count through netmem_desc instead of page

To eliminate the use of struct page in page pool, the page pool users
should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead.

Make mlx4 access ->pp_ref_count through netmem_desc instead of page.

While at it, add a helper, pp_page_to_nmdesc() and __pp_page_to_nmdesc(),
that can be used to get netmem_desc from page only if it's a pp page.
For now that netmem_desc overlays on page, it can be achieved by just
casting, and use macro and _Generic to cover const casting as well.

Plus, change page_pool_page_is_pp() to check for 'const struct page *'
instead of 'struct page *' since it doesn't modify data and additionally
covers const type.
