The duplicate warning is emitted from Sphinx, not kernel-doc.

This is a bug of Sphinx >=3.1, first reported by Mauro back in September 2020 at:

    https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/8241

It was closed when a local fix was presented.  Unfortunately, it was not
merged at the time and a subsequent pull request was opened at:

    https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8313

It is not merged yet and carries a milestone of Sphinx 7.x.

Looks like we need to wait patiently.

        Thanks, Akira
