page_pool: allow caching from safely localized NAPI

I went back to the explicit "are we in NAPI method", mostly
because I don't like having both around :( (even tho I maintain
that in_softirq() && !in_hardirq() is as safe, as softirqs do
not nest).

Still returning the skbs to a CPU, tho, not to the NAPI instance.
I reckon we could create a small refcounted struct per NAPI instance
which would allow sockets and other users so hold a persisent
and safe reference. But that's a bigger change, and I get 90+%
recycling thru the cache with just these patches (for RR and
streaming tests with 100% CPU use it's almost 100%).

Some numbers for streaming test with 100% CPU use (from previous version,
but really they perform the same):

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
