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.
