After changeset 5130b8fd0690 ("rcu: Introduce kfree_rcu() single-argument macro"),
kernel-doc now emits two warnings:
./include/linux/rcupdate.h:884: warning: Excess function parameter 'ptr' description in 'kfree_rcu'
./include/linux/rcupdate.h:884: warning: Excess function parameter 'rhf' description in 'kfree_rcu'
What's happening here is that some macro magic was added in order
to call two different versions of kfree_rcu(), being the first one
with just one argument and a second one with two arguments.
That makes harder to document the kfree_rcu() arguments, which
also reflects on the documentation text.
In order to make clearer that this macro accepts optional
arguments, by using macro concatenation, changing its
definition from:
#define kfree_rcu kvfree_rcu
to:
#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rhf...) kvfree_rcu(ptr, ## rhf)
That not only helps kernel-doc to understand the macro arguemnts,
but also provides a better C definition that makes clearer that
the first argument is mandatory and the second one is optional.
Fixes: 5130b8fd0690 ("rcu: Introduce kfree_rcu() single-argument macro")
