I was not aware of the duplicate bugs. It is interesting that
"KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in event_handler" says that vdev->ud.tcp_tx became NULL at

	if (vdev->ud.tcp_tx) {

		/* this location */

		kthread_stop_put(vdev->ud.tcp_tx);
		vdev->ud.tcp_tx = NULL;
	}

which means that somebody else is unexpectedly resetting vdev->ud.tcp_tx to NULL.

If memset() from vhci_device_init() from vhci_start() were unexpectedly called,
all of tcp_socket, tcp_rx, tcp_tx etc. becomes NULL which can explain these bugs ?
I'm inclined to report not only tcp_socket but also other fields when kernel_sendmsg()
detected that tcp_socket is NULL...
