docs: net: page_pool: use kdoc to avoid duplicating the information
All struct members of the driver-facing APIs are documented twice,
in the code and under Documentation. This is a bit tedious.
I also get the feeling that a lot of developers will read the header
when coding, rather than the doc. Bring the two a little closer
together by using kdoc for structs and functions.
Using kdoc also gives us links (mentioning a function or struct
in the text gets replaced by a link to its doc).
