[PATCH] kernel-doc: drop leading space in sections

Drop leading space of kernel-doc section contents.

"Section" data (contents) are split from the section header
(e.g., Note: below is a section header:
 * Note: list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is
 * in an undefined state.
).

Currently the data/contents begins with a space and is left that way, which
causes it to look bad when printed (in text mode; see example below), so
just remove the leading space.

Note:

list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is in an
undefined state.
