doc: update Kernel documentation build system

Update the documentation build system according to Linux v5.11-rc1.

Deactive the automarkup.py extension module which on Gitlab CI is
incompatible with Unicode.

With this patch we can build the HTML documentation using either of
Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.
