H A Dkernel-docdiff 4c98ecaf350737cd424eb94140e9e9f1a3408956 Thu Mar 11 00:22:02 CET 2010 Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> scripts/kernel-doc: fix empty function description section

scripts/kernel-doc mishandles a function that has a multi-line function
short description and no function parameters. The observed problem was
from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c:

/**
* scsi_netlink_init - Called by SCSI subsystem to intialize
* the SCSI transport netlink interface
*
**/

kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a
newline character in the Description contents. This caused
output_highlight() to complain: "output_highlight got called with no
args?", plus produce a perl call stack backtrace.

The fix is just to ignore Description sections if they only contain "\n".
