I'm afraid it's too late to change.

That's definitely an oversight on my side, considering that CAP_BPF came
in 5.8, and sk_lookup program first appeared in 5.9.
Today it's possible to build a usable sk_lookup program without
CAP_NET_ADMIN if you go for REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY map instead of
SOCKMAP/HASH.
Best I can come up is a "phase it out" approach. Put the CAP_NET_ADMIN
load-time check behind a config option, defaulting to true?, and wait
for it to become obsolete.

I would keep it as-is then. The trouble doesn't feel worth it.
