[PATCH] kernel-doc: check for extra kernel-doc notations

[Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Add functionality to check for function parameters or structure (or
union/typedef/enum) field members that are described in kernel-doc but
are not part of the expected (declared) parameters or structure.
These generate warnings that are called "Excess" descriptions.
