[PATCH bpf-next v3] bpf: Fix some invalid links in bpf_devel_QA.rst

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Wed Apr 21 2021 - 23:36:25 EST


There exist some errors "404 Not Found" when I click the link
of "MAINTAINERS" [1], "samples/bpf/" [2] and "selftests" [3]
in the documentation "HOWTO interact with BPF subsystem" [4].

As Alexei Starovoitov suggested, just remove "MAINTAINERS" and
"samples/bpf/" links and use correct link of "selftests".
