[PATCH 04/29] scripts: kernel-doc: proper handle @foo->bar()

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

The pattern @foo->bar() is valid, as it can be used by a
function pointer inside a struct passed as a parameter.

Right now, it causes a warning:

        ./drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c:606: WARNING: Inline strong 
start-string without end-string.

In this specific case, the kernel-doc markup is:

        /**
         * fw_core_remove_address_handler() - unregister an address handler
         * @handler: callback
         *
         * To be called in process context.
         *
         * When fw_core_remove_address_handler() returns, @handler->callback() 
is
         * guaranteed to not run on any CPU anymore.
         */

With seems valid on my eyes. So, instead of trying to hack
the kernel-doc markup, let's teach it about how to handle
such things. This should likely remove lots of other similar
warnings as well.
