The kerneldoc script currently emits Sphinx markup for a macro with
arguments that uses the c:function directive. This is correct for
Sphinx versions earlier than Sphinx 3, where c:macro doesn't allow
documentation of macros with arguments and c:function is not picky
about the syntax of what it is passed. However, in Sphinx 3 the
c:macro directive was enhanced to support macros with arguments,
and c:function was made more picky about what syntax it accepted.
When kerneldoc is told that it needs to produce output for Sphinx
3 or later, make it emit c:function only for functions and c:macro
for macros with arguments. We assume that anything with a return
type is a function and anything without is a macro.
This fixes the Sphinx error:
