Those patches don't exist in 4.4, they were merged in 4.10. It looks
like this is an Android-specific test. The easiest way to resolve this
issue is to run the Android networking unit tests:

https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/kernel/network_tests

The tests will tell you if your kernel lacks necessary patches or
otherwise cannot support Android userspace networking code. The
failures will be much clearer than the CTS test failures.
