It was running sysbench against a postgresql database over localhost. In
each case I checked, sk_forward_alloc was less than one page.

I notice we update sk_forward_alloc in sk_mem_charge and sk_mem_uncharge.
Since it isn't an atomic variable I went looking for a lock somewhere in
the call chain (first thought was the socket lock). I couldn't find
anything, but I could easily be missing something.
