OK, you have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC set.  That's the patch which unmaps
pages from kernel virtual address space when they are freed.

That patch seems quite stable on uniprocessor at least - there are question
marks over its honesty on SMP.

I would be inclined to say that this is a hitherto undiscovered
use-after-free bug.
