[PATCH 5.10 15/15] docs: kernel_include.py: Cope with docutils 0.21

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com>

commit d43ddd5c91802a46354fa4c4381416ef760676e2 upstream.

Running "make htmldocs" on a newly installed Sphinx 7.3.7 ends up in
a build error:

    Sphinx parallel build error:
    AttributeError: module 'docutils.nodes' has no attribute 'reprunicode'

docutils 0.21 has removed nodes.reprunicode, quote from release note [1]:

  * Removed objects:

    docutils.nodes.reprunicode, docutils.nodes.ensure_str()
        Python 2 compatibility hacks

Sphinx 7.3.0 supports docutils 0.21 [2]:

kernel_include.py, whose origin is misc.py of docutils, uses reprunicode.

Upstream docutils removed the offending line from the corresponding file
(docutils/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py) in January 2022.
Quoting the changelog [3]:

    Deprecate `nodes.reprunicode` and `nodes.ensure_str()`.

    Drop uses of the deprecated constructs (not required with Python 3).

Do the same for kernel_include.py.

Tested against:
  - Sphinx 2.4.5 (docutils 0.17.1)
  - Sphinx 3.4.3 (docutils 0.17.1)
  - Sphinx 5.3.0 (docutils 0.18.1)
  - Sphinx 6.2.1 (docutils 0.19)
  - Sphinx 7.2.6 (docutils 0.20.1)
  - Sphinx 7.3.7 (docutils 0.21.2)
