I am not 100% sure what the new header should be named and what
exactly you wanted moved to the new header, but made a guess and
uploaded v6 with this change. Let me know if it's not what you had in
mind. I added a new linux/skbuff_ref.h header file, moved all the ref
functions there, and included page pool headers in that without worry.

v6: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=843380
