Expanding the massive Cc: with linux-doc list...

Here goes. It's a quick hack from months ago, but still seems to
somewhat work. At least for the kernel-doc parts. The reStructuredText
lint part isn't all that great, and doesn't have mapping to line numbers
like the Sphinx kernel-doc extension does. Anyway I'm happy how this
integrates with kernel build CHECK and C=1/C=2.

I guess Julia's goal is to automate the *fixing* of some of the error
classes from kernel-doc. Not sure how well this could be made to
integrate with any of that.

BR,
Jani.
