Hi Waqar, is that line 2639 ?
2540 sstatic int tnc_delete()
2541 {
2608         if (!znode->parent) {
2609                 while (znode->child_cnt == 1 && znode->level != 0) {
2634                         if (zp->cnext) {
...
2638                         } else
2639                                 kfree(zp);
2644 }

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:
