The previous attempt to properly handle literal blocks broke parsing of
parameter lines containing colons; fix it by tweaking the regex to
specifically exclude the "::" pattern while accepting lines containing
colons in general.  Add a little documentation to the regex while in the
neighborhood.

Fixes: 8d295fba ("kernel-doc: better handle '::' sequences")
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Right now, if one of the following headers end with a '::', the
kernel-doc script will do the wrong thing:

	description|context|returns?|notes?|examples?

The real issue is with examples, as people could try to write
something like:

	example::

		/* Some C code */

and this won't be properly evaluated. So, improve the regex
to not catch '\w+::' regex for the above identifiers.

Provide a shorter and easier process for users that deal with
regressions in stable and longterm kernels, as those should be reported
quickly.

To realize this in the least-confusing way and without having steps
multiple times in different places, split the 'search for existing
reports' into two. That has the additinal benefit that users will search
for them quickly when going through the step by step guide and thus will
save them trouble if the find reports.

Tell users that reporting bugs with vendor kernels which are only
slightly patched can be okay in some situations, but point out there's a
risk in doing so.

Adjust some related sections to make them compatible and a bit clearer.
At the same time make them less daunting: we want users to report bugs,
even if they can't test vanilla mainline kernel.

BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by
sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather
than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.
On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are
innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU)
and when a task is getting a new ASID.
So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as
well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are
not needed on some architectures.

Changeset f546ff0c ("Move our minimum Sphinx version to 1.7")
cleaned up some compatibility issues with previous Sphinx
versions, but it also dropped the PDF margin sets.

Without that, the media documentation won't build fine, as
the margins are too wide to display texts with monospaced
fonts.

While here, align the  "latex_elements = {" values, and add
a few other sphinxsetup configs in order to allow Sphinx to
wrap long lines on literal blocks.
