Fix some kernel-doc warnings in openvswitch.h:

Mark enum placeholders that are not used as "private" so that kernel-doc
comments are not needed for them.

Correct names for 2 enum values:
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:300 Excess enum value
 '@OVS_VPORT_UPCALL_SUCCESS' description in 'ovs_vport_upcall_attr'
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:300 Excess enum value
 '@OVS_VPORT_UPCALL_FAIL' description in 'ovs_vport_upcall_attr'

Convert one comment from "/**" kernel-doc to a plain C "/*" comment:
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:638 This comment starts with
 '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment.
 * Omit attributes for notifications.

Add more kernel-doc:
- add kernel-doc for kernel-only enums;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_datapath_attr;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_flow_attr;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_sample_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_check_pkt_len_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_action_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_action_push_eth;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_vport_attr;

v5: fix one description (thanks, Ilya);
    put periods at the end of enum short desriptions;
v4: more updates/corrections from Ilya (Thanks!);
    use "net-next" (Jakub);
v3: update descriptions based on Ilya's feedback;
v2: correct -net to net for tree destination/designation;
    add more kernel-doc for various enums;
