bpf: Fix formatting in documentation for BPF helpers
When producing the bpf-helpers.7 man page from the documentation from the BPF user space header file, rst2man complains: <stdin>:2636: (ERROR/3) Unexpected indentation. <stdin>:2640: (WARNING/2) Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent. Let's fix formatting for the relevant chunk (item list in bpf_ringbuf_query()'s description), and for a couple other functions.
