[PATCH bpf-next 3/3] bpf,docs: Remove references to bpf_cgroup_kptr_get()

[David Vernet]

The bpf_cgroup_kptr_get() kfunc has been removed, and
bpf_cgroup_acquire() / bpf_cgroup_release() now have the same semantics
as bpf_task_acquire() / bpf_task_release(). This patch updates the BPF
documentation to reflect this.

 Other kfuncs available for interacting with ``struct cgroup *`` objects are
 bpf_cgroup_ancestor() and bpf_cgroup_from_id(), allowing callers to access
 the ancestor of a cgroup and find a cgroup by its ID, respectively. Both
