thunderx: eliminate extra calls to put_page() for pages held for recycling

For the non-XDP case, commit 773225388dae15e72790 ("net: thunderx: Optimize
page recycling for XDP") added code to nicvf_free_rbdr() that, when releasing
the additional receive buffer page reference held for recycling, repeatedly
calls put_page() until the page's _refcount goes to zero. Which results in
the page being freed.

This is not okay if the page's _refcount was greater than 1 (in the non-XDP
case), because nicvf_free_rbdr() should not be subtracting more than what
nicvf_alloc_page() had previously added to the page's _refcount, which was
only 1 (in the non-XDP case).

This can arise if a received packet is still being processed and the receive
buffer (i.e., skb->head) has not yet been freed via skb_free_head() when
nicvf_free_rbdr() is spinning through the aforementioned put_page() loop.

If this should occur, when the received packet finishes processing and
skb_free_head() is called, various problems can ensue. Exactly what, depends on
whether the page has already been reallocated or not, anything from "BUG: Bad
page state ... ", to "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference ..." or
"Unable to handle kernel paging request...".

So this patch changes nicvf_free_rbdr() to only call put_page() once for pages
held for recycling (in the non-XDP case).
