[PATCH v3 11/17] scripts: kernel-doc: replace tabs by spaces

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Sphinx has a hard time dealing with tabs, causing it to
misinterpret paragraph continuation.

As we're now mainly focused on supporting ReST output,
replace tabs by spaces, in order to avoid troubles when
the output is parsed by Sphinx.
