[PATCH] kernel-doc: improve "no structured comments found" error

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

When using '!Ffile function' in a docbook template, and the function
no longer exists, you get a "no structured comments found" error from
the kernel-doc processing script. It's useful to know which functions
it was looking for, so print them out in this case. Also do the same
for '!Pfile doc-section'

The same error also happens when using '!Efile' when some exported
functions aren't documented (in the same file.) There's a very large
number of such functions though, so don't print the message in this
case -- right now it would give ~850 messages.

Just needed this patch again, Rob previously said he had no objection
but also didn't want to merge the patch.

Andrew, I'm thus sending it to you as a last resort. If you know a
better maintainer, I'm all ears.
