I am not able to reproduce the issue. Tried with latest net-next on FC26 
with kmemleak on. I only got this one after bootup,
'cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak' or
'echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak':

Not sure whether the above is a true issue or not.

However, by inspecting the code, I do find the trie_free in lpm_trie.c
may have missed freeing the trie memory.

The change likes below should work:
-bash-4.2$ git diff 

diff --git a/kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c b/kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c
index 7b469d1..cecb259 100644
--- a/kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c
+++ b/kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c
@@ -589,6 +589,7 @@ static void trie_free(struct bpf_map *map)

  unlock:
         raw_spin_unlock(&trie->lock);
+       kfree(trie);
  }

  static int trie_get_next_key(struct bpf_map *map, void *_key, void 
*_next_key)
-bash-4.2$

Will propose a formal patch for this soon.
