[PATCH 1/2] slab: make kmem_cache_create{_usercopy} description proper kernel-doc

From: Mike Rapoport <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-06 21:13:19
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

Add the description for kmem_cache_create, fixup the return value paragraph
and make both kmem_cache_create and add the second '*' to the comment
opening.
