objects are really allocated in process context
(except for TCP/IP and other softirqs which are done in arbitrary
process context!)
And objects are not always freed in correct context (!).
Note, page_ub is not for _user_ pages. user pages accounting will be added
in next patch set. page_ub is added to track kernel allocations.
