2025-06-25docs: kdoc: separate out the handling of the declaration phaseJonathan Corbet
The BODY_MAYBE state really describes the "we are in a declaration" state. Rename it accordingly, and split the handling of this state out from that of the other BODY* states. This change introduces a fair amount of duplicated code that will be coalesced in a later patch.

2025-06-25docs: kdoc: Make body_with_blank_line parsing more flexibleJonathan Corbet
The regex in the BODY_WITH_BLANK_LINE case was looking for lines starting with " * ", where exactly one space was allowed before the following text. There are many kerneldoc comments where the authors have put multiple spaces instead, leading to mis-formatting of the documentation. Specifically, in this case, the description portion is associated with the last of the parameters. Allow multiple spaces in this context. See, for example, synchronize_hardirq() and how its documentation is formatted before and after the change.

process_name() looks for the first line of a kerneldoc comment. It contains two nearly identical regular expressions, the second of which only catches six cases in the kernel, all of the form: define SOME_MACRO_NAME - description Simply put the "define" into the regex and discard it, eliminating the loop and the code to remove it specially.
