There exist some errors "404 Not Found" when I click the link
of "MAINTAINERS" [1], "samples/bpf/" [2] and "selftests" [3]
in the documentation "HOWTO interact with BPF subsystem" [4].
Use correct link of "MAINTAINERS" and just remove the links of
"samples/bpf/" and "selftests" because there are no related
documentations.

I'm fine with removing maintainers and samples links, but selftests
would be good to keep.
There is no documentation inside selftests, but clicking to go to
source code feels useful.
Instead of removing could you make it clickable?
