Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix invalid escape sequence warnings

The script bpf_doc.py generates multiple SyntaxWarnings related to invalid
escape sequences when executed with Python 3.12. These warnings do not appear in
Python 3.10 and 3.11 and do not affect the kernel build, which completes
successfully.

This patch resolves these SyntaxWarnings by converting the relevant string
literals to raw strings or by escaping backslashes. This ensures that
backslashes are interpreted as literal characters, eliminating the warnings.
