The Python script `bpf_doc.py` uses regular expressions with
backslashes in string literals, which results in SyntaxWarnings
during its execution.

This patch addresses these warnings by converting relevant string
literals to raw strings, which interpret backslashes as literal
characters. This ensures that the regular expressions are parsed
correctly without causing any warnings.

this one is not a regex, do we still need to change it?

Indeed, it's essential to modify this aspect, especially since we're
encountering warnings when compiling the kernel with Python 3.12.

The choice between using an 'r'-prefixed string or manually escaping
each backslash is largely a matter of preference. It's worth noting that
the 'r' prefix is not only commonly employed for regular expressions but
also in contexts where backslashes should be treated as literal
characters rather than escape sequences.

Should I send another patch escaping backslash for non regex string
literals?
