The new upstream kernel-doc that we plan to update to uses a different
syntax for the LINENO directives that the Sphinx extension parses:
instead of
  #define LINENO 86
it has
  .. LINENO 86

Update the kerneldoc.py extension to handle both syntaxes, so
that it will work with both the old and the new kernel-doc.
