I'm not a huge fan of conditional includes ... any reason to not include
it always?

It feels weird to have a page here, convert it back to an address,
then convert it back to a head page in page_pool_return_skb_page().
How about passing 'page' here, calling compound_head() in
page_pool_return_skb_page() and calling virt_to_page() in skb_free_head()?

I'm not sure this wrapper needs to exist.

You don't need the cast any more.

put this in a header file:

static inline bool skb_pp_recycle(struct sk_buff *skb, void *data)
{
	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PAGE_POOL) || !skb->pp_recycle)
		return false;
	return page_pool_return_skb_page(virt_to_page(data));
}

then this becomes:

	if (skb->head_frag) {
		if (skb_pp_recycle(skb, head))
			return;
