Subject: [PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors

The kbuild bot recently added the W=1 option, which triggered
documentation cleanups to squelch hundreds of kernel-doc warnings.

To make sure new kernel contributions don't add regressions to
kernel-doc descriptors, this patch suggests an option to treat
warnings as errors in CI/automated tests. A command-line option is
provided to the kernel-doc script, as well as a check on environment
variables to turn this optional behavior on.

Examples for the two subsystems I contribute to:

KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 sound/
KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 drivers/soundwire/

Randy Dunlap also suggested adding a log for when generating
documentation. The documentation build is however not stopped for now.

KDOC_WERROR=1 make htmldocs
