Subject: tracing/kprobes: Fix the description of variable length arguments
From: Yujie Liu <yujie.liu@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e0f831836cead677fb07d54bd6bf499df35640c2 upstream.
Fix the following kernel-doc warnings:
kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c:1029: warning: Excess function parameter 'args' description in '__kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start'
kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c:1097: warning: Excess function parameter 'args' description in '__kprobe_event_add_fields'
Refer to the usage of variable length arguments elsewhere in the kernel
code, "@..." is the proper way to express it in the description.
