bpf: Update bpf_design_QA.rst to clarify that kprobes is not ABI

This patch updates bpf_design_QA.rst to clarify that the ability to
attach a BPF program to a given point in the kernel code via kprobes
does not make that attachment point be part of the Linux kernel's ABI.

 Q: How much stack space a BPF program uses?
 -------------------------------------------
 A: Currently all program types are limited to 512 bytes of stack
