Aditya Srivastava f9bbc12ccb scripts: kernel-doc: improve parsing for kernel-doc comments syntax
Currently kernel-doc does not identify some cases of probable kernel
doc comments, for e.g. pointer used as declaration type for identifier,
space separated identifier, etc.

Some example of these cases in files can be:
i)" *  journal_t * jbd2_journal_init_dev() - creates and initialises a journal structure"
in fs/jbd2/journal.c

ii) "*      dget, dget_dlock -      get a reference to a dentry" in
include/linux/dcache.h

iii) "  * DEFINE_SEQLOCK(sl) - Define a statically allocated seqlock_t"
in include/linux/seqlock.h

Also improve identification for non-kerneldoc comments. For e.g.,

i) " *	The following functions allow us to read data using a swap map"
in kernel/power/swap.c does follow the kernel-doc like syntax, but the
content inside does not adheres to the expected format.

Improve parsing by adding support for these probable attempts to write
kernel-doc comment.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
