[PATCH] kernel-doc: don't use XML escapes in text or man output mode

[Randy.Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

For kernel-doc output modes of text and man, do not use XML escapes
for less-than, greater-than, and ampersand characters.  I.e., leave
the text and man output clean and readable.
