bpf: Update descriptions for helpers bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]()
Now instead of the number of arguments, the number of registers holding argument values are stored in trampoline. Update the description of bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]() helpers. Previous programs without struct arguments should continue to work as usual.
