bpf, doc: Remove references to warning message when using bpf_trace_printk()
The BPF helper bpf_trace_printk() no longer uses trace_printk();
it is now triggers a dedicated trace event. Hence the described
warning is no longer present, so remove the discussion of it as
it may confuse people.
Fixes: ac5a72ea5c
("bpf: Use dedicated bpf_trace_printk event instead of trace_printk()")

Q: bpf_trace_printk() helper warning
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
Q: When bpf_trace_printk() helper is used the kernel prints nasty
|
||||
warning message. Why is that?
|
||||
|
||||
A: This is done to nudge program authors into better interfaces when
|
||||
programs need to pass data to user space. Like bpf_perf_event_output()
|
||||
can be used to efficiently stream data via perf ring buffer.
|
||||
BPF maps can be used for asynchronous data sharing between kernel
|
||||
and user space. bpf_trace_printk() should only be used for debugging.
