This is currently quite rare.

The pages are freed using __free_pages(), but they should instead be
freed using page_put(). This series fixes this, in two spots.

These patches work for Linux v5.18-rc7 and v5.17.y, but won't apply
cleanly to earlier stable branches. (Nevertheless, the fix is
trivial.)

I accidentally based this on net-next/master rather than net/master.
Sorry about that. I'll send version 2 in a few days.
