Thanks David.

Bug origin was in linux-4.2 :

commit 26abe14379f8e2fa3fd1bcf97c9a7ad9364886fe

    net: Modify sk_alloc to not reference count the netns of kernel sockets.
    
    Now that sk_alloc knows when a kernel socket is being allocated modify
    it to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets.
    
    Keep track of if a socket needs reference counting by adding a flag to
    struct sock called sk_net_refcnt.
    
    Update all of the callers of sock_create_kern to stop using
    sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel as those hacks are no longer
    needed, to avoid reference counting a kernel socket.
