Subject: [RFC PATCH] scripts: kernel-doc: allow printing the documented symbols

It is useful to know what symbols are documented, as
scripts could use this in order to check for documentation
issues. This comes almost for free from kernel-doc parsing.

So, add support for it.

While checking what's documented on some media files, I found
the lack of a feature that would report it on an easy way.

Well, it turns that it is very easy to make kernel-doc report it.
With that, it is easy to check, for example, what are the external
symbols that are documented with:

$ ./scripts/kernel-doc --export --symbols drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c
dvb_ca_en50221_camchange_irq()
dvb_ca_en50221_camready_irq()
dvb_ca_en50221_frda_irq()
dvb_ca_en50221_init()
dvb_ca_en50221_release()

And the internal ones with:

$ ./scripts/kernel-doc --internal --symbols drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c
findstr()
dvb_ca_en50221_wait_if_status()
dvb_ca_en50221_link_init()
dvb_ca_en50221_read_tuple()
dvb_ca_en50221_parse_attributes()
dvb_ca_en50221_set_configoption()
dvb_ca_en50221_read_data()
dvb_ca_en50221_write_data()
dvb_ca_en50221_slot_shutdown()
dvb_ca_en50221_thread_wakeup()
dvb_ca_en50221_thread_update_delay()
dvb_ca_en50221_poll_cam_gone()
dvb_ca_en50221_thread_state_machine()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_do_ioctl()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_ioctl()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_write()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_read()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_open()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_release()
dvb_ca_en50221_io_poll()
