Are you sure the above commit is the bug origin ?

It looks like bug was bring by transparent proxy in 2.6.37

commit 093d282321daeb19c107e5f1f16d7f68484f3ade
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@...abit.hu>

    tproxy: fix hash locking issue when using port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()
    
    When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are
    held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an
    implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket).
    Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a
    transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break.
    
    This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case
    by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates
    callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port()
    failing.
    
    Reported by and original patch from Stephen Buck <stephen.buck@...nda.com>.
