Subject: [PATCH v2 22/22] docs: Kbuild/Makefile: allow check for missing docs at build time

While this doesn't make sense for production Kernels, in order to
avoid regressions when new documents are added, let's add a
check target at the make file.

For now, the only check it does is to verify if there isn't
any documents with a broken link.
