docs/bpf: Fix sphinx warnings for devmap

Browse Source 
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.

User space
----------
.. note::
DEVMAP entries can only be updated/deleted from user space and not
from an eBPF program. Trying to call these functions from a kernel eBPF
program will result in the program failing to load and a verifier warning.

int bpf_map_update_elem(int fd, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags);
Net device entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()``
helper. This helper replaces existing elements atomically. The ``value`` parameter
can be ``struct bpf_devmap_val`` or a simple ``int ifindex`` for backwards
compatibility.

The ``flags`` argument can be one of the following:
The ``flags`` argument can be one of the following:

- ``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:
