I have no idea how. I found a different bug, staring at this code
for another hour. But I still don't get how we can avoid UaF on
a page by having the TCP take a ref on it rather than copy it.

If anything we should have 2 refs on any page in the sg, one because
it's on the sg, and another held by the re-tx handling.

So I'm afraid we're papering over something here :( We need to keep
digging.
