The rx buffer circulation is very odd. You seem to pre-allocate buffers
for the full ring from a page_pool. And then copy the data out of those
pages. The normal process is that after packet is received a new page is
allocated to give to HW, and old is attached to an skb, and sent up the
stack.

Also you are releasing the page to be recycled without clearing it from
the ring. I think you'd free it again on shutdown, so it's a
double-free.
