ynl: samples: fix recycling rate calculation



Running the page-pool sample on production machines under moderate
networking load shows recycling rate higher than 100%:

$ page-pool
    eth0[2]	page pools: 14 (zombies: 0)
		refs: 89088 bytes: 364904448 (refs: 0 bytes: 0)
		recycling: 100.3% (alloc: 1392:2290247724 recycle: 469289484:1828235386)

Note that outstanding refs (89088) == slow alloc * cache size (1392 * 64)
which means this machine is recycling page pool pages perfectly, not
a single page has been released.

The extra 0.3% is because sample ignores allocations from the ptr_ring.
Treat those the same as alloc_fast, the ring vs cache alloc is
already captured accurately enough by recycling stats.

With the fix:

$ page-pool
    eth0[2]	page pools: 14 (zombies: 0)
		refs: 89088 bytes: 364904448 (refs: 0 bytes: 0)
		recycling: 100.0% (alloc: 1392:2331141604 recycle: 473625579:1857460661)
