Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: fix definition of bpf_ringbuf_output() helper in UAPI comments

Fix definition of bpf_ringbuf_output() in UAPI header comments, which is used
to generate libbpf's bpf_helper_defs.h header. Return value is a number (erro
code), not a pointer.

Fixes: 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it")
