So the code as-is works, so I am providing my "Reviewed-by".
Reviewed-by: Alexander Duyck <alexanderduyck@fb.com>

Consider the rest of this a suggestion or a "nice to have".

I wonder if we shouldn't also look at restructuring the function and
just moving it to net/core/skbuff.c somewhere next to skb_pp_recycle.

I suspect we could look at pulling parts of it out as well. The
pp_magic check should always be succeeding unless we have pages getting
routed the wrong way somewhere. So maybe we should look at pulling it
out and moving it to another part of the path such as
__page_pool_put_page() and making it a bit more visible to catch those
cases.
