fix it.
Additionally, use the new links about "BPF and XDP Reference Guide"

The machanics and usage are not very straightforward. Given the
changes it's better to document how it works and how to use it,
rather than having to rely on the examples and implementation to
infer what is going on.

It's a follow-up for discussion in [1].
drgn tool bpf_inspect.py was merged to drgn repo in [2]. Document it
in kernel tree to make BPF developers aware that the tool exists and
can help with getting BPF state unavailable via UAPI.
For now it's just one tool but the doc is written in a way that allows
to cover more tools in the future if needed.
Please refer to the doc itself for more details.
The patch was tested by `make htmldocs` and sanity-checking that
resulting html looks good.
v2 -> v3:
- two sections: "Description" and "Getting started" (Daniel);
- add examples in "Getting started" section (Daniel);
- add "Customization" section to show how tool can be customized.
v1 -> v2:
- better "BPF drgn tools" section (Alexei)

In commit da70314917 ("bpf: Document BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL")

Add documentation for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL, including general
info, attach type, context, return code, helpers, example and usage
considerations.
A separate file prog_cgroup_sysctl.rst is added to Documentation/bpf/.
In the future more program types can be documented in their own
prog_<name>.rst files.
Another way to place program type specific documentation would be to
group program types somehow (e.g. cgroup.rst for all cgroup-bpf
programs), but it may not scale well since some program types may belong
to different groups, e.g. BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB can be documented
together with either cgroup-bpf programs or programs that access skb.
The new file is added to the index and verified by `make htmldocs` /
sanity-check by lynx.

The majority of files in the kernel documentation index use
capitalisation for all words, especially the shorter ones. BPF docs
better fit in with the rest of the documentation if the heading is all
