Scan the entire system memory looking for the pointer to this page.
Dump the memory around location which hold that pointer. If you're
lucky the page will be held by an skb, and the memory around it will
look like struct skb_shared_info. If you're less lucky the page is used
by sk_buff for the head and address will not be exact. If you're less
lucky still the page will be directly leaked by the driver, and not
pointed to by anything...

I think the last case is most likely, FWIW.
