Stanislav Fomichev 8069594673 bpf: move BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR documentation to a new common place
In commit da70314917 ("bpf: Document BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL")
Andrey proposes to put per-prog type docs under Documentation/bpf/

Let's move flow dissector documentation there as well.

Andrey Ignatov da70314917 bpf: Document BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL
Add documentation for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL, including general
info, attach type, context, return code, helpers, example and usage
considerations.

A separate file prog_cgroup_sysctl.rst is added to Documentation/bpf/.

In the future more program types can be documented in their own
prog_<name>.rst files.

Another way to place program type specific documentation would be to
group program types somehow (e.g. cgroup.rst for all cgroup-bpf
programs), but it may not scale well since some program types may belong
to different groups, e.g. BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB can be documented
together with either cgroup-bpf programs or programs that access skb.

The new file is added to the index and verified by `make htmldocs` /
sanity-check by lynx.

Tobin C. Harding 6919bcc8aa docs: bpf: Capitalise document heading
The majority of files in the kernel documentation index use
capitalisation for all words, especially the shorter ones.  BPF docs
better fit in with the rest of the documentation if the heading is all
capitalised.

Capitalise document heading.

Tobin C. Harding d9b9170a26 docs: bpf: Rename README.rst to index.rst
Recently bpf/ docs were converted to use RST format.  'README.rst' was
created but in order to fit in with the Sphinx build system this file
should be named 'index.rst'.  Rename file, fixes to integrate into
Sphinx build system in following patches.

docs: Rename Documentation/bpf/README.rst to Documentation/bpf/index.rst
