Hi,

yes, the check was meant to be 'if (!priv->page_pool[0])'.
Maybe it's a copy/paste error from other points where 'page_pool' is a
local variable.

While at it, I've found that in case a page_pool allocation fails, I
don't cleanup the previously allocated pools, and upon deallocation the
pointer isn't set back to NULL.

I should add something like:

Looks sane to you?
