bpf: add documentation for helpers bpf_spin_lock(), bpf_spin_unlock()
Add documentation for the BPF spinlock-related helpers to the doc in bpf.h. I added the constraints and restrictions coming with the use of spinlocks for BPF: not all of it is directly related to the use of the helper, but I thought it would be nice for users to find them in the man page. This list of restrictions is nearly a verbatim copy of the list in Alexei's commit log for those helpers.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
