This reverts commit db359fccf212e7fa3136e6edbed6228475646fd7.

Netpp page_type'ed pages might be used in mapping so as to use
@_mapcount.  However, since @page_type and @_mapcount are union'ed in
struct page, these two can't be used at the same time.  Revert the
commit introducing page_type for Netpp for now.

The patch will be retried once @page_type and @_mapcount get allowed to
be used at the same time.

The revert also includes removal of @page_type initialization part
introduced by commit 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init() and use it
to initialize ->page_type"), which will be restored on the retry.

Too bad we didn't notice this earlier during testing in -next etc :(

vm_insert_page() sucks. I hope we can revisit this, once vm_insert_page() no
longer touches the mapcount.

Uh, didn't realize that those pages can be mapped to userspace...

Maybe worth putting [PATCH mm-hotfixes] just to make it clear this should be an
urgent hotfix?

Maybe 'this reverts commit db359fccf212 ("...") and partially reverts commit
735a309b4bfb9e ("...") <details>'?

As above maybe mentioning at top of commit msg, as right now this reads as a
pure revert of db359fccf212.

Nit, but this isn't a straight revert, as in the original code owner came before
type :P

I'm not sure this really matters though (the size should remain the same also
either way).

Ah OK this must be the part of the revert from 735a309b4bfb9e.

I did

: This reverts commit db359fccf212 ("mm: introduce a new page type for page
: pool in page type") and a part of 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init()
: and use it > to initialize ->page_type").

I assume db359fccf212 ("mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in
page type") is close enough.  Both that and 735a309b4bfb9e are new in
7.1-rcX.
