Subject: [PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc: escape special characters for xml
 struct output

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@...cle.com>

scripts/kernel-doc was leaving unescaped '<', '>', and '&' in
generated xml output for structs.  This causes xml parser errors.
Convert these characters to "&lt;", "&gt;", and "&amp;" as needed
to prevent errors.
Most of the conversion was already done; complete it just before
output.

Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.xml:41883: parser error : StartTag: invalid element name
#define INPUT_KEYMAP_BY_INDEX	(1 << 0)
