docs: automarkup: Mark up undocumented entities too
The automarkup code generates markup and a cross-reference link for functions, structs, etc. for which it finds kerneldoc documentation. Undocumented entities are left untouched; that creates an inconsistent reading experience and has caused some writers to go to extra measures to cause the markup to happen. Mark up detected C entities regardless of whether they are documented. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
