The code looks innocent enough. As I don't know whether the kernel version
you mentioned is a vanilla 4.19.184 from the stable tree or some patched up
frankenkernel which pretends to have this version number, I can't be sure
that this is an issue in that particular kernel.

In the vanilla 4.19.184 I really cant find how that would return EPERM for
regular futexes.

Thanks,
