I was affected by this bug. Thanks for posting it so I could find it. I installed the hwe kernel packages (4.15 kernel) for ubuntu 16.04, removed the old 4.4 kernels, then Parallels tools installed just fine.

In particular, it breaks even the latest version of parallels tools, which forced me to downgrade to -138 after staying in the office late to try and figure out why the heck it suddenly didn't work. This is a showstopper for anyone using parallels as the behavior they'll see off the bat is that they can no longer log in to a graphical session. I think it's likely that other out-of-tree modules will be broken as well. It seems like it might be easier to work around this in the kernel itself rather than patch every single other package that tickles it.
