Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] scripts: kdoc: make it backward-compatible with Python 3.7

There was a change at kdoc that ended breaking compatibility
with Python 3.7: str.removesuffix() was introduced on version
3.9.

Restore backward compatibility.

Reported-by: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@...il.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/57be9f77-9a94-4cde-aacb-184cae111506@gmail.com/
Fixes: 27ad33b6b349 ("kernel-doc: Fix symbol matching for dropped suffixes")
