page_pool: fragment API support for 32-bit arch with 64-bit DMA



Currently page_pool_alloc_frag() is not supported in 32-bit
arch with 64-bit DMA because of the overlap issue between
pp_frag_count and dma_addr_upper in 'struct page' for those
arches, which seems to be quite common, see [1], which means
driver may need to handle it when using fragment API.

It is assumed that the combination of the above arch with an
address space >16TB does not exist, as all those arches have
64b equivalent, it seems logical to use the 64b version for a
system with a large address space. It is also assumed that dma
address is page aligned when we are dma mapping a page aligned
buffer, see [2].

That means we're storing 12 bits of 0 at the lower end for a
dma address, we can reuse those bits for the above arches to
support 32b+12b, which is 16TB of memory.

If we make a wrong assumption, a warning is emitted so that
user can report to us.
