[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v2 18/25] docs: kdoc_re: Change NestedMath args replacement to \0

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Future patches will allow parsing each argument instead of the
hole set. Prepare for it by changing the replace all args from
\1 to \0.

No functional changes.
