kernel-doc minor fix

kernel-doc minor fix

[Jani Monoses]

Hi 

	inline docs are not generated for functions which return a 'const'
because this modifier is not checked for (only inline extern and static)
when verifying the function prototype.
This patch fixes it and hopefully doesn't break anything else(I am
Perl----)

Since when did C accept constttttttttttttttttttt and staticcccccccc?
etc.

Should that be " +" not "+ " or is someone just trying to confuse me?
Or did someone try to mean s/foo//g by adding a +?


Yours confusedly,

Simon.

Hi 

I can't answer to your question but this patch is not good anyway as Tim
pointed out to me.
