[PATCH bpf-next v1] docs: bpf: map_array: specify BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY value size limit

[Alex Tran]

Specify value size limit for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY which
is PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE (32 kb). In percpu allocator (mm: percpu), 
any request with a size greater than PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE is rejected.
