page_pool: don't use driver-set flags field directly
page_pool::p is driver-defined params, copied directly from the structure passed to page_pool_create(). The structure isn't meant to be modified by the Page Pool core code and this even might look confusing[0][1]. In order to be able to alter some flags, let's define our own, internal fields the same way as the already existing one (::has_init_callback). They are defined as bits in the driver-set params, leave them so here as well, to not waste byte-per-bit or so. Almost 30 bits are still free for future extensions. We could've defined only new flags here or only the ones we may need to alter, but checking some flags in one place while others in another doesn't sound convenient or intuitive. ::flags passed by the driver can now go to the "slow" PP params.
