bpf: Reuse MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS for maximum number of arguments
Currently, MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS is used for tracepoint related progs where the number of parameters cannot exceed MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS. Here, MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS is reused to set a limit of the number of arguments for bpf functions and kfuncs. The current value for MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS is 12 which should be sufficient for majority of bpf functions and kfuncs.
