[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf/docs: Update design QA to be consistent with kfunc lifecycle docs

["Toke Høiland-Jørgensen" <toke@redhat.com>]

Cong pointed out that there are some inconsistencies between the BPF design
QA and the lifecycle expectations documentation we added for kfuncs. Let's
update the QA file to be consistent with the kfunc docs, and add references
where it makes sense. Also document that modules may export kfuncs now.

v2:
- Fix repeated word (s/defined defined/defined/)
