tcp: Checking a kmemdup() call in tcp_time_wait()

Hello,
I tried another script for the semantic patch language out.
This source code analysis approach points out that the implementation
of the function âtcp_time_waitâ contains also a call of the function âkmemdupâ.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.4-rc2/source/net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c#L306
* Do you find the usage of the macro call âBUG_ONâ still appropriate at this place?

* Is there a need to adjust the error handling here?
