I fully agree.
I actually liked V3 better.

Back when I wrote the documentation with these links, the BPF doc was
not well integrated with the kernels doc-system.  It is today, so it
makes sense to remove the links (that happens to work on GitHub) as you
did in V3.

Today BPF documentation is nicely organized via this link:
 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/index.html
