kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections
we started getting (more) errors on duplicate section names, especially
on the default section name "Description":
include/net/mac80211.h:3174: warning: duplicate section name 'Description'
This is usually caused by a slightly unorthodox placement of parameter
descriptions, like in the above case, and kernel-doc resetting back to
the default section more than once within a kernel-doc comment.
Ignore warnings on the duplicate section name automatically assigned by
kernel-doc, and only consider explicitly user assigned duplicate section
names an issue.
