The error pointer functions are collectively mentioned hundreds of times in existing documentation (e.g. "Return: an ERR_PTR() on failure.", "If IS_ERR() is true, the function failed and PTR_ERR() gives you the error code.") This series adds kerneldocs for them and brings them into the docs build, immediately turning most such mentions into automatic cross-references.
