Hi Waqar, is that line 2639 ?

2609 while (znode->child_cnt == 1 && znode->level != 0) {

Looks like there is one possibility:
1. tnc_insert() triggers a TNC tree split:
zroot
/
z_p1
/
zn
z_p1 is full, after inserting zn_new(key order is smaller that zn) under z_p1, zn->parent is switched to z_p2, but zn->cparent is still z_p1:
zroot
/ \
z_p1 z_p2
/ \
zn_new zn
2. tnc_delete() removes all znodes except the 'zn':
zroot
\
z_p2
\
zn
TNC tree is collapsed, zroot and z_p2 are freed:
zroot'(zn)
3. get_znodes_to_commit() finds only one znode(zn, which is also zroot), zn->cparent is not updated and still points to z_p1(which was freed).
4. write_index() accesses the zn->cparent->zbranch, which triggers an UAF!

Try following modification to verify whether the problem is fixed:
