Maybe take a look at the patch
   822fb26bdb55  bpf: Add a hint to allocated objects.

In the above patch, we have

+       /*
+        * Remember bpf_mem_cache that allocated this object.
+        * The hint is not accurate.
+        */
+       c->tgt = *(struct bpf_mem_cache **)llnode;

I suspect that the warning may be related to the above.
I tried the above ./test_progs command line (running multiple
at the same time) and didn't trigger the issue.
