Subject: [PATCH] doc, bitmap: Fix kernel-doc for bitmap_parselist(),
 bitmap_parselist_user()

Move and adjust kernel-doc from __bitmap_parselist() to
bitmap_parselist(), as only the latter is declared extern.

Fix the summary line for bitmap_parselist_user().

Replace outdated statement that bitmap_parselist_user() is a wraper
for bitmap_parselist() with the relevant fact that it has the same
range of return values.
