docs: net: 80211: reduce docs build time
the files under /80211 calls kernel-doc script 207 times, one for each single function and doc chapter. Due to that, it takes a lot of time handling it: $ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs ... real 0m22,928s user 0m21,644s sys 0m1,334s Reduce the build time by doing only one kernel-doc call per functions that belong to the same group. With that, there's now 50 calls to kernel-doc, which makes the build time for those docs 62% faster: $ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs ... real 0m8,666s user 0m8,084s sys 0m0,642s As a side effect, it should now be easier to add newer functions, as there's no need to repeat the kernel-doc pattern. Measurements made on a NUC8i7HNK machine with lots of ram and a fast SSD disk with Sphinx 3.2.1.
