[PATCH] kernel-doc: fix some odd spacing issues

[Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

- in man and text mode output, if the function return type is
  empty (like it is for macros), don't print the return type
  and a following space; this fixes an output malalignment;

- in the function short description, strip leading, trailing,
  and multiple embedded spaces (to one space); this makes
  function name/description output spacing consistent;

- fix a comment typo;
