net: page_pool: scale alloc cache with PAGE_SIZE
The current page_pool alloc-cache size and refill values were chosen to match the NAPI budget and to leave headroom for XDP_DROP recycling. These fixed values do not scale well with large pages, as they significantly increase a given page_pool's memory footprint. Scale these values to better balance memory footprint across page sizes, while keeping behavior on 4KB-page systems unchanged.
