There's one EPERM I can reproduce reliably with bpf_map test, which appears
to originate from "bpf_charge_memlock".

There's a deferred component to map freeing, and unchange appears to be part of it:
  bpf_map_release
    bpf_map_put
      INIT_WORK(&map->work, bpf_map_free_deferred);
        (deferred) bpf_uncharge_memlock

When I lower max locked memory, it's easy to hit:
# ulimit  -l 128; ./bpf_map01 -i 100
...
bpf_map01.c:52: CONF: bpf() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN on this system: EPERM

Can you try bumping max locked memory to some high value and check
if that helps your case?
