Ubuntu Kernel 4.15.0-24.26 causes php7.2-fpm.service to hang at boot

After updating the kernel on my QEMU based VPS running 18.04 Server to kernel ver. 4.15.0-24.26 i noticed that php7.2-fpm.service was't starting:

● php7.2-fpm.service - The PHP 7.2 FastCGI Process Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/php7.2-fpm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Mon 2018-07-02 13:38:07 CEST; 15s ago
     Docs: man:php-fpm7.2(8)
  Process: 595 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/php-fpm7.2 --nodaemonize --fpm-config /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php-fpm.conf (code=killed, signal=TERM)
 Main PID: 595 (code=killed, signal=TERM)

jul 02 13:38:07 www systemd[1]: Failed to start The PHP 7.2 FastCGI Process Manager.

Setting timeout of php7.2-fpm.service to 300s i and running systemd-analyze blame, after rebooting, i noticed that php7.2-fpm.service takes about 3 minutes to start:
sudo systemd-analyze blame
   2min 54.715s php7.2-fpm.service

This issues is persistent when running kernel 4.15.0-24.26, i have tried multiple reboots.

After downgrading to Kernel ver. 4.15.0-23.25 the issues is gone.
Again I've tried multiple reboots of the server running 4.15.0-23.25 and PHP7.2-fpm.service starts withing seconds after rebooting.
