scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef support for struct/union parsing
Currently, there are ~1290 occurrences in 447 files in the kernel tree 'typedef struct/union' syntax for defining some struct/union. However, kernel-doc currently does not support that syntax. Of the ~1290 occurrences, there are four occurrences in ./include/linux/zstd.h with typedef struct/union syntax and a preceding kernel-doc; all other occurrences have no preceding kernel-doc. Add support for parsing struct/union following this syntax.
