docs/bpf: Fix sphinx warnings for cpumap
Sphinx version >=3.1 warns about duplicate function declarations in the CPUMAP 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.

CPUMAP entries can only be updated/looked up/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.
