root cause is:

page_pool_recycle_in_ring
  ptr_ring_produce
    spin_lock(&r->producer_lock);
    WRITE_ONCE(r->queue[r->producer++], ptr)
      //recycle last page to pool
				page_pool_release
				  page_pool_scrub
				    page_pool_empty_ring
				      ptr_ring_consume
				      page_pool_return_page  //release all page
				  __page_pool_destroy
				     free_percpu(pool->recycle_stats);
				     free(pool) //free

     spin_unlock(&r->producer_lock); //pool->ring uaf read
  recycle_stat_inc(pool, ring);

page_pool can be free while page pool recycle the last page in ring.
Add producer-lock barrier to page_pool_release to prevent the page
pool from being free before all pages have been recycled.

recycle_stat_inc() is empty when CONFIG_PAGE_POOL_STATS is not
enabled, which will trigger Wempty-body build warning. Add definition
for pool stat macro to fix warning.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
