[PATCH 03/23] maccess: remove duplicate kerneldoc comments

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2020-05-21 15:23:20
Also in: bpf, linux-mm, linux-um, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Many of the maccess routines have a copy of the kerneldoc comment
in the header.  Remove it as it is not useful and will get out of
sync sooner or later.
