Now that the pp fields in net_iov have no users, remove them from
net_iov and clean up.

The original post was:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251121040047.71921-1-byungchul@sk.com/

1/3 was covered by Pavel's patch:

  commit f0243d2b86b97 ("io_uring/zcrx: convert to use netmem_desc").

2/3 was taken by Jakub and merged:

  commit df59bb5b9af3f ("netmem, devmem, tcp: access pp fields through
  @desc in net_iov")

Now that io-uring and net core changes converge in one tree, I'm
resending the 3/3, which is what Jakub asked:
