[Linux-kernel-mentees] [RFC] scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef support for struct parsing

[Aditya Srivastava]

There are files in kernel, which use 'typedef struct' syntax for defining
struct. For eg, include/linux/zstd.h, drivers/scsi/megaraid/mega_common.h,
etc.
However, kernel-doc still does not support it, causing a parsing error.

For eg, running scripts/kernel-doc -none on include/linux/zstd.h emits:
"error: Cannot parse struct or union!"

Add support for parsing it.
