kernel-doc: allow multi-line declaration purpose descriptions
Allow the short description after symbol name and dash in a kernel-doc
comment to span multiple lines, e.g. like this:
/**
* unmap_mapping_range - unmap the portion of all mmaps in the
* specified address_space corresponding to the specified
* page range in the underlying file.
* @mapping: the address space containing mmaps to be unmapped.
* ...
*/
The short description ends with a parameter description, an empty line
or the end of the comment block.
