Use the documented kernel-doc format for function Return: descriptions.
Begin constant values in kernel-doc comments with '%'.
Remove kernel-doc "/**" from 2 functions that are not documented with
kernel-doc notation.
Fix typos, punctuation, & grammar.
Also fix a few kernel-doc warnings:
../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Function parameter or member 'ep' not described in 'ep_loop_check_proc'
../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Excess function parameter 'priv' description in 'ep_loop_check_proc'
../fs/eventpoll.c:1932: warning: Function parameter or member 'ep' not described in 'ep_loop_check'
../fs/eventpoll.c:1932: warning: Excess function parameter 'from' description in 'ep_loop_check'
