Moving init_task around is the culprit.
I guess the extra page has a 50% chance of being leaked anyway, as it depends
on the alignment of the previous section.
I can probably make the kernel reclaim it by sticking a label either side of
the alignment and if they're more than a page apart, reclaim the page that
ends at the second label.
