Bug description:
  With the 4.15.0 kernel version used in bionic GCP/GKE, if the tcmu
  user space code crashes while handling a netlink message from the
  kernel, the kernel module will be stuck waiting for the response. This
  situation can only be resolved with a server reboot.

  === SRU Justification ===
  [Impact]
  With this particular user-space crash in the current Ubuntu image it results 
in a hang hobbles the entire physical server.

  [Fix]
  The request is for Canonical to backport the patch 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10319623/ to the bionic 4.15.0 kernel [** 
CORRECTION: See comment #2 ***]

  There were a number of mainline upstream commits to apply as part of
  the backport

  [Test]
  unavailable

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. it's all mainline commits, and affects only that driver.
