bpf: Update bpf_design_QA.rst to clarify that kprobes is not ABI 

This patch updates bpf_design_QA.rst to clarify that the ability to
attach a BPF program to a given point in the kernel code via kprobes
does not make that attachment point be part of the Linux kernel's ABI.

@ -214,6 +214,12 @@ A: NO. Tracepoints are tied to internal implementation details hence they are
subject to change and can break with newer kernels. BPF programs need to change
accordingly when this happens.
Q: Are places where kprobes can attach part of the stable ABI?
--------------------------------------------------------------
A: NO. The places to which kprobes can attach are internal implementation
details, which means that they are subject to change and can break with
newer kernels. BPF programs need to change accordingly when this happens.
Q: How much stack space a BPF program uses?
-------------------------------------------
A: Currently all program types are limited to 512 bytes of stack
