The get_page() + put_page() trick is a fairly ugly workaround that I
added when Jakub removed page_pool_release_page() in commit 535b9c61bdef
("net: page_pool: hide page_pool_release_page()").

These extra refcnt increments will make the test slower, but if we are
just aware of this, then we can still compare incremental changes.
