docs: kdoc_parser: add data/function attributes to ignore
Recognize and ignore __rcu (in struct members), __private (in struct members), and __always_unused (in function parameters) to prevent kernel-doc warnings: Warning: include/linux/rethook.h:38 struct member 'void (__rcu *handler' not described in 'rethook' Warning: include/linux/hrtimer_types.h:47 Invalid param: enum hrtimer_restart (*__private function)(struct hrtimer *) Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:81 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_mmap_file' Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:109 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_file_mprotect' There are more of these (in compiler_types.h, compiler_attributes.h) that can be added as needed.
