Based on the implementation in kernel/bpf/syscall.c,
kernel/bpf/trampoline.c, include/linux/filter.h, and the documentation
in bpftool-prog.rst.
The section style doesn't match the surrounding sections; it matches
the style of the reworked kernel.rst queued up in docs-next.

Notes:
Changes since v2:
- fixed "will disabled" typo.
Changes since v1:
- rebased on bpf-next instead of docs-next.
