Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef parsing

The include/linux/genalloc.h file defined this typedef:

	typedef unsigned long (*genpool_algo_t)(unsigned long *map,unsigned long size,unsigned long start,unsigned int nr,void *data, struct gen_pool *pool, unsigned long start_addr);

Because it has a type composite of two words (unsigned long),
the parser gets the typedef name wrong:

.. c:macro:: long

   **Typedef**: Allocation callback function type definition

Fix the regex in order to accept composite types when
defining a typedef for a function pointer.
