If the following is a legit forced way to get query the kernel to ask it
who owns a page then perhaps this technique can be used in the future to
figure out who the hell caused this. Catalin, can you confirm? In this
case this is perhaps not a leaked page but I am trying to abuse the
kmemleak debugfs API to query who allocated the page. Is that fine?
