Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Comment 4 Vladis Dronov 2018-04-20 07:53:23 EDT
Note:

This bug is present in certain Red Hat products, but the security impact is absent. Therefore, we do not consider this bug to be a security flaw.

This was fixed for Fedora with the 4.14 kernel updates.
