Probably the typical generic netlink issue - syzbot often hits the
generic netlink family by ID, rather than by name. So when it has a
kernel without WG a generic netlink family disappears, the later ones
get different IDs, and the issue no longer happens since the ID is now
no longer valid or hitting some completely different code path ...
