Not sure if the conditions that led Kartikeya and Eduard to add
__caps_unpriv(CAP_BPF) explicitly for some tests also apply here.

It seems adding it to this test will not provide much benefit because
the other tests in verifier_unpriv.c already assume
sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled=0.

Because this already affects the more restricted 'unpriv process under
sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled=0 without CAP_BPF' environment, I
suggest dropping __caps_unpriv(CAP_BPF) it.
