Changes from v1:
1. Rebase on linux-next.

net-next is closed, looks like until August 11.

2. Initialize net_iov->pp = NULL when allocating net_iov in
net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() and io_zcrx_create_area().
3. Use ->pp for net_iov to identify if it's pp rather than
always consider net_iov as pp.
4. Add Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>.

Oops, looks you killed my suggested-by tag now. Since it's still
pretty much my diff spliced with David's suggestions, maybe
Co-developed-by sounds more appropriate. Even more so goes for
the second patch getting rid of __netmem_clear_lsb().

Looks fine, just one comment below.

It's zero initialised, you don't need it.

And a friendly reminder, please never send patches modifying a
subsystem without CC'ing it, especially kept in another tree.
Sure, you CC'ed me, but it's easy to lose.
