bpf, docs: Clarify call local offset
In the Jump instructions section it explains that the offset is
"relative to the instruction following the jump instruction".
But the program-local section confusingly said "referenced by
offset from the call instruction, similar to JA".
This patch updates that sentence with consistent wording, saying
it's relative to the instruction following the call instruction.
