[PATCH] kernel-doc: make parameter description indentation uniform

- In parameter descriptions, strip all whitespace between the parameter
  name (e.g., @len) and its description so that the description is
  indented uniformly in text and man page modes.  Previously, spaces
  or tabs (which are used for cleaner source code viewing) affected
  the produced output in a negative way.

Before (man mode):
       to            Destination address, in user space.
       from        Source address, in kernel space.
       n              Number of bytes to copy.

After (man mode):
       to          Destination address, in user space.
       from        Source address, in kernel space.
       n           Number of bytes to copy.

- Fix/clarify a few function description comments.
