xdp: improve page_pool xdp_return performance

Browse source 
During LPC2022 I meetup with my page_pool co-maintainer Ilias. When
discussing page_pool code we realised/remembered certain optimizations
had not been fully utilised.

Since commit c07aea3ef4 ("mm: add a signature in struct page") struct
page have a direct pointer to the page_pool object this page was
allocated from.

Thus, with this info it is possible to skip the rhashtable_lookup to
find the page_pool object in __xdp_return().

The rcu_read_lock can be removed as it was tied to xdp_mem_allocator.
The page_pool object is still safe to access as it tracks inflight pages
and (potentially) schedules final release from a work queue.

Created a micro benchmark of XDP redirecting from mlx5 into veth with
XDP_DROP bpf-prog on the peer veth device. This increased performance
6.5% from approx 8.45Mpps to 9Mpps corresponding to using 7 nanosec
(27 cycles at 3.8GHz) less per packet.
