page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage
When reading the page_pool code the first impression is that keeping two separate counters, one being the page refcnt and the other being fragment pp_frag_count, is counter-intuitive. However without that fragment counter we don't know when to reliably destroy or sync the outstanding DMA mappings. So let's add a comment explaining this part.
