kern :err : [  128.186735] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __inet_hash (net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:749 net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:800) 

This kasan error not related with LTP case, i guess it triggered by network
related process such as bind etc. I try to give following patch to fix
kasan error, correct me if any mistake, thanks.
