[PATCH 4.19 037/109] net: add documentation to socket.c

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Pedro Tammela <pctammela@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 8a3c245c031944f2176118270e7bc5d4fd4a1075 ]

Adds missing sphinx documentation to the
socket.c's functions. Also fixes some whitespaces.

I also changed the style of older documentation as an
effort to have an uniform documentation style.
