Since it's bpf related please always use [PATCH bpf] in the subject.
Please monitor the tree and mailing lists as well.
In this case the proper fix is already in bpf tree.
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20221102182517.2675301-1-andrii@kernel.org/

Your fix alone is incomplete. See patch 2 in the fix above.
