[PATCH v3 03/20] seqlock: Add missing kernel-doc annotations

Ahmed S. Darwish
2020-06-30T05:45:15Z

A small number of the the exported seqlock.h functions are kernel-doc
annotated.

Since seqlock.h is now included by the kernel's RST documentation, add
kernel-doc annotations for all of the remaining functions.
