I built and installed 4.9.55 in my kvm guest, and login with console,
no ip address configured on the NIC by dhclient.

Then I do dhclient eth0, it showed:

# dhclient -v eth0
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.5

For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/

Can't install packet filter program: Cannot allocate memory


Then after I configure ip address manually, it works well.

So pls check if the dhclient doesn't work either in you env.
