docs/bpf: Fix sphinx warnings for devmap

Sphinx version >=3.1 warns about duplicate function declarations in the
DEVMAP documentation. This is because the function name is the same for
kernel and user space BPF progs but the parameters and return types
they take is what differs. This patch moves from using the ``c:function::``
directive to using the ``code-block:: c`` directive. The patches also fix
the indentation for the text associated with the "new" code block delcarations.
The missing support of c:namespace-push:: and c:namespace-pop:: directives by
helper scripts for kernel documentation prevents using the ``c:function::``
directive with proper namespacing.

DEVMAP entries can only be updated/deleted from user space and not

can be ``struct bpf_devmap_val`` or a simple ``int ifindex`` for backwards

The ``flags`` argument can be one of the following:
- ``BPF_ANY``: Create a new element or update an existing element.
- ``BPF_NOEXIST``: Create a new element only if it did not exist.
- ``BPF_EXIST``: Update an existing element.
DEVMAPs can associate a program with a device entry by adding a ``bpf_prog.fd``
to ``struct bpf_devmap_val``. Programs are run after ``XDP_REDIRECT`` and have
access to both Rx device and Tx device. The program associated with the ``fd``
must have type XDP with expected attach type ``xdp_devmap``.
When a program is associated with a device index, the program is run on an
``XDP_REDIRECT`` and before the buffer is added to the per-cpu queue. Examples
of how to attach/use xdp_devmap progs can be found in the kernel selftests:
