It took some time as I could not restart my PC last few days to try 
stock kernel - unfortunately the stock kernel doesn't work for me. But I 
found the reason for the message - it was Openswan package fault. Or 
mine - I haven't installed openswan kernel patch, which would probably 
fix it. As I do not use Openswan (it was installed along with kvpn) I 
just removed the package and it helped.

Thanks for suggestions anyway,
