bpf: Remove local kptr references in documentation

We don't want to commit to a specific name for these. Simply call them
allocated objects coming from bpf_obj_new, which is completely clear in
itself.

 A: NO.
 
 Unlike map value types, there are no stability guarantees for this case. The
-whole local kptr API itself is unstable (since it is exposed through kfuncs).
