docs/devel/ebpf_rss.rst: Format literals correctly

Browse Source 
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").

The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).

To format a literal (generally rendered as fixed-width font),
double-backticks are required.

ebpf_rss.rst gets this wrong in a few places; correct them.

`struct EBPFRSSConfig` fields:
``struct EBPFRSSConfig`` fields:
- redirect - "boolean" value, should the hash be calculated, on false - `default_queue` would be used as the final decision.
- redirect - "boolean" value, should the hash be calculated, on false - ``default_queue`` would be used as the final decision.
- populate_hash - for now, not used. eBPF RSS doesn't support hash reporting.
- hash_types - binary mask of different hash types. See `VIRTIO_NET_RSS_HASH_TYPE_*` defines. If for packet hash should not be calculated - `default_queue` would be used.
- hash_types - binary mask of different hash types. See ``VIRTIO_NET_RSS_HASH_TYPE_*`` defines. If for packet hash should not be calculated - ``default_queue`` would be used.
- indirections_len - length of the indirections table, maximum 128.
- default_queue - the queue index that used for packet that shouldn't be hashed. For some packets, the hash can't be calculated(g.e ARP).
Functions:
- `ebpf_rss_init()` - sets ctx to NULL, which indicates that EBPFRSSContext is not loaded.
- `ebpf_rss_load()` - creates 3 maps and loads eBPF program from the rss.bpf.skeleton.h. Returns 'true' on success. After that, program_fd can be used to set steering for TAP.
- `ebpf_rss_set_all()` - sets values for eBPF maps. `indirections_table` length is in EBPFRSSConfig. `toeplitz_key` is VIRTIO_NET_RSS_MAX_KEY_SIZE aka 40 bytes array.
- `ebpf_rss_unload()` - close all file descriptors and set ctx to NULL.
