printk: Move the printk() kerneldoc comment to its new home

Commit 33701557 ("printk: Userspace format indexing support") turned
printk() into a macro, but left the kerneldoc comment for it with the (now)
_printk() function, resulting in this docs-build warning:

  kernel/printk/printk.c:1: warning: 'printk' not found

Move the kerneldoc comment back next to the (now) macro it's meant to
describe and have the docs build find it there.
