I tested the patch and it works well on my side.

However, this looks a bit fragile to me. There is no particular reason
to have testing/selftests/bpf point to bpf/bpftool other than to
accommodate the current case, we could imagine other selftest files
pointing to other parts of the documentation in the future. I would
instead make an exception for test_bpftool_synctypes.py specifically
(other selftest files don't usually parse documentation anyway).
Alternatively, I would look at excluding lines where the path is used in
code (tricky to detect), maybe at least when used with os.path.join():

    next if ($ln =~ m,os\.path\.join\([^\,]*\,\s*['"]$fulref,);

But I'm not familiar with documentation-file-ref-check in the first
place, so these are just my two cents.

Thanks,
Quentin
