mm, slab: remove duplicate kernel-doc comment for ksize()
Akira reports: > "make htmldocs" reports duplicate C declaration of ksize() as follows: > /linux/Documentation/core-api/mm-api:43: ./mm/slab_common.c:1428: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at core-api/mm-api:212. > Declaration is '.. c:function:: size_t ksize (const void *objp)'. > This is due to the kernel-doc comment for ksize() declaration added in > include/linux/slab.h by commit 05a940656e1e ("slab: Introduce > kmalloc_size_roundup()"). There is an older kernel-doc comment for ksize() definition in mm/slab_common.c, which is not only duplicated, but also contradicts the new one - the additional storage discovered by ksize() should not be used by callers anymore. Delete the old kernel-doc.
