    Fix kernel-doc processing of SYSCALL wrappers.
    
    The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
    syscalls.  Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
    reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:
    
    Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
    Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
    Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'
    
    because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
    although they are not:
    
    /**
     *  sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
     *  @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
     *  @pid: the PID of the thread
     *  @sig: signal to be sent
     *
     *  This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
     *  exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
     *  method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.
     */
