Vincent Mailhol 90f1d896d5 doc-guide: kernel-doc: specify that W=n does not check header files
The documentation states that:

  make W=n

can be used to verify the documentation format. This is true for .c
files but not for headers [1].

Modify the documentation to specify that headers files are not covered
by make W=n and that these need to be checked separately with
scripts/kernel-doc.
