Opt-in since this wreaks the rst output and must be removed by consumers again. This is useful to adjust the linenumbers for included kernel-doc snippets in shinx. With that sphinx error message will be accurate when there's issues with the rst-ness of the kernel-doc comments. Especially when transitioning a new docbook .tmpl to .rst this is extremely useful, since you can just use your editors compilation quickfix list to accurately jump from error to error. v2: - Also make sure that we filter the LINENO for purpose/at declaration start so it only shows for selected blocks, not all of them (Jani). While at it make it a notch more accurate. - Avoid undefined $lineno issues. I tried filtering these out at the callsite, but Jani spotted more when linting the entire kernel. Unamed unions and similar things aren't stored consistently and end up with an undefined line number (but also no kernel-doc text, just the parameter type). Simplify things and filter undefined line numbers in print_lineno() to catch them all. v3: Fix LINENO 0 issue for kernel-doc comments without @param: lines or any other special sections that directly jump to the description after the "name - purpose" line. Only really possible for functions without parameters. Noticed by Jani.
