In case of user after free kernel OOPs, free path of object
is required to debug futher.
And in most of cases object address is present in one of registers.
Thus check for register address and if it belongs to slab,
print its alloc and free path.
e.g. in below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and user afree issue
occurred on one of its derefer values:
[ 20.182197] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f
