Right. Hillf's patch can reduce number of active workqueue's worker threads, for
only one worker thread can call bpf_map_free_deferred() (which is nice because
it avoids bloat of active= and refcnt= fields). But Hillf's patch is not for
fixing the cause of "BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS too low!" message.

Like Dmitry mentioned, bpf syscall allows producing work items faster than
bpf_map_free_deferred() can consume. (And a similar problem is observed for
network namespaces.) Unless there is a bug that prevents bpf_map_free_deferred()
 from completing, the classical solution is to put pressure on producers (i.e.
slow down bpf syscall side) in a way that consumers (i.e. __bpf_map_put())
will not schedule thousands of backlog "struct bpf_map" works.
