[PATCH] virtio: fix kernel-doc warnings for virtio_device

[PATCH] virtio: fix kernel-doc warnings for virtio_device

[Kenner de Azevedo dos Santos Miranda]

The following warnings were reported when running 'make htmldocs':

  WARNING: ./include/linux/virtio.h:188 struct member 'map'
  not described in 'virtio_device'

  WARNING: ./include/linux/virtio.h:188 struct member
  'VIRTIO_DECLARE_FEATURES(features' not described in
  'virtio_device'

  WARNING: ./include/linux/virtio.h:188 struct member 'vmap'
  not described in 'virtio_device'

Document the map and vmap fields in struct virtio_device.

Also avoid kernel-doc confusion caused by the VIRTIO_DECLARE_FEATURES()
macro by documenting the logical @features field.

After these changes, running 'make htmldocs' no longer reports warnings
for map, vmap, or VIRTIO_DECLARE_FEATURES().
