For old API, page_pool_alloc_pages() always return a whole page, and
page_pool_alloc() returns a whole page or a page fragment based on the
requested size.
For new netmem API, page_pool_alloc_netmems() always return a whole
netmem, and page_pool_alloc_netmem() returns a whole netmem or a netmem
fragment based on the requested size.
Isn't it a little odd that old and new are not following the same
pattern?
