You need to fold the -hda parameter into -driver, so the whole command
line becomes
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -smp 4 -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:79:0c:db,model=rtl8139 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup -drive file=/share/ltp_guest.img,cache=writeback
-hda is deprecated, it forces cache=writethrough.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
