IIUC you should pass the page_pool as the last argument to 
xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() and then the page will be recycled
by the core, you shouldn't release it.

Not to mention the potential race in releasing the page _after_
giving its ownership to someone else.

FWIW if you're only calling this outside NAPI during init, when NAPI
can't yet run, I _think_ it's okay to use page_pool_dev_alloc..

If you're not setting PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP you don't have to fill in .dev
and .dma_dir
