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.
