Yes, but ip_append_data() (and skb_append_datato_frags() for
NETIF_F_UFO only, so currently not a problem), uses this differently,
and these pages in sk->sk_sndmsg_page could leak or be used after
kfree. (I didn't track locking in these other places).
It'll be freed when the socket is freed so that should be fine.
