I think that is also needed for
       FAN_REPORT_PIDFD (since Linux 5.15)
that was backported to 5.10.y?

There's also:
VERSIONS
       Prior to Linux 5.13, calling fanotify_init() required the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
       Since Linux 5.13, users may call fanotify_init() without the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
       to create  and  initialize an fanotify group with limited functionality.

and in fanotify.7 there is:
       Since Linux 5.13, the following interfaces can be used to
control the amount
       of kernel resources consumed by fanotify...

Both these changes from 5.13 were backported to 5.10.y.

Thanks,
Amir.
