[PATCH mel-git 3/3] net: page_pool: convert to use alloc_pages_bulk_array variant

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer
Date: Wed Mar 24 2021 - 17:36:00 EST


Using the API variant alloc_pages_bulk_array from page_pool
was done in a separate patch to ease benchmarking the
variants separately. Maintainers can squash patch if preferred.
