To support multiple users referencing the same fragment, pp_frag_count is
renamed to pp_ref_count to better reflect its actual meaning based on the
suggestion from [1].

It seems page_pool_fragment_page() might not be a appropriate name too?

Perhaps it might be better to grep defrag/frag to see if there is other
function name might need changing.

page_pool_defrag_page() related function is called by mlx5 driver directly,
we need to change it to use the new function too.

I assume that deref is short for dereference? According to:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4955198/what-does-dereferencing-a-pointer-mean-in-c-c

'dereferencing means accessing the value from a certain memory location
against which that pointer is pointing'.

So I am not sure if 'deref' is the right word here as I am not a native
english speaker, But it seems 'unref' is more appropriate here if we mirror
the napi_frag_unref() function name?

Our understanding is that the concept of fragmenting exists before the
page is drained, and all related functions should retain their current
names. However, once the page is drained, its management shifts to
being governed by pp_ref_count, and there's no longer a need to
consider fragmentation. Therefore, all functions associated with that
lifecycle stage of a pp page will be renamed. With that in mind, the
following functions have been renamed.

page_pool_defrag_page -> page_pool_deref_page
page_pool_is_last_frag -> page_pool_is_last_ref
page_pool_put_defragged_page -> page_pool_put_derefed_page

Yeah, that change is right at the start of the patch.

That sounds better to me as well. Thanks!
