pagepool: Fix use-after-free in pagepoolrecyclein_ring
syzbot reported a uaf in pagepoolrecycleinring:

root cause is:
pagepoolrecycleinring ptrringproduce spinlock(&r->producerlock); WRITEONCE(r->queue[r->producer++], ptr) //recycle last page to pool pagepoolrelease pagepoolscrub pagepoolemptyring ptrringconsume pagepoolreturnpage //release all page _pagepooldestroy freepercpu(pool->recyclestats); free(pool) //free
spin_unlock(&r->producer_lock); //pool->ring uaf readrecyclestatinc(pool, ring);
pagepool can be free while page pool recycle the last page in ring. Add producer-lock barrier to pagepool_release to prevent the page pool from being free before all pages have been recycled.
recyclestatinc() is empty when CONFIGPAGEPOOL_STATS is not enabled, which will trigger Wempty-body build warning. Add definition for pool stat macro to fix warning.
