[PATCH v2] Phonet: fix kernel-doc syntax in file headers and remove file names

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
For e.g., the header for include/linux/phonet.h follows this syntax, but
the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.

This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc:
warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst
* file phonet.h

Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

Also remove the redundant file name from the comment headers.
