Acked-by is typically used by maintainers. However, sometimes it is
useful to be able to accept the tag from other stakeholders that may not
have done a deep technical review or may not be kernel developers. For
instance:
- People with domain knowledge, such as the original author of the
code being modified.
- Userspace-side reviewers for a kernel uAPI patch, like in DRM --
see Documentation/gpu/drm-uapi.rst:
> The userspace-side reviewer should also provide an Acked-by on the
> kernel uAPI patch indicating that they believe the proposed uAPI
> is sound and sufficiently documented and validated for userspace's
> consumption.
- Key users of a feature, such as in [1].
Thus clarify that Acked-by may be used by other stakeholders (but most
commonly by maintainers).
Since, in these cases, it may be confusing why an Acked-by is/was
provided, allow and suggest to provide a "# Suffix" explaining it.
The "# Suffix" for Acked-by is already being used to clarify what part
of the patch a maintainer is acknowledging, thus also mention "# Suffix"
in the relevant paragraph.

At the bottom of the bug-hunting.rst file there is a "signature" which
doesn't seem to make much sense. It seems to predate git, and perhaps
was from an earlier bug report that got copied into the document, but
now makes no sense so remove it.

The definition of EXPORT_SYMBOL et al depends on
DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE. So DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE must already be
available when <linux/export.h> is parsed.
Also when defined that early there is no need for an #undef, so drop
that from the usage example.

Since commit cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string
literal") the namespace has to be a string. Fix accordingly.
