I agree the API is broken, but i think there is a better fix.

There should be a stub of page_pool_get_stats() for when
CONFIG_PAGE_POOL_STATS is disabled.

Nothing actually dereferences struct page_pool_stats when you have
this stub. So it might be enough to simply have

struct page_pool_stats{
};
