I am by no means a network stack guru, but it seems mfree was trying to free
a mbuf cluster, but it still has a next packet/cluster pointer, meaning that
it has a child and thus it is unacceptable to free it.

I think it comes from:

src/sys/kern/uipc_socket2.c

one of the two KKASSERT(m->m_nextpkt == NULL);

Meaning it tripped either in sbappendstream() or sbappendaddr().

So that means there's still a code path somewhere that comes to either of
these functions with a chained mbuf.

But that's my reading of it.
