365ff56f08 docs: kgdb.rst: fix :c:type: usages
Which Sphinx 3, :c:type:  can't be used anymore for structs,
as this should be used only for typedefs.

Rely on automarkup.py for struct references.

This file has an special case, though: it uses the tag also
to point to an array. Let's use, instead, :c:expr: for such
purpose, as it should do the right thing.

This should fix this warning:

	./Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst:875: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'kdb_poll_funcs[]'
	Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 14]
	  kdb_poll_funcs[]

f71fc3bc7b Documentation: kgdboc: Document new kgdboc_earlycon parameter
The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb
using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter.
Document it.

Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting
of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc".  See that patch for
more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc"
and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works
if your tty driver is already ready).  The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works
in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

14994a9bb4 docs: disable KASLR when debugging kernel
commit 6807c84652 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR
by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel
symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for
kernel debugging.

821c6df877 kgdb.rst: Adjust ReST markups
The automatic conversion didn't work too well for this file.
It added weird html blocks inside it, and did some weird
things for literals. Manually fix it, in order to present
a nice display at html/pdf outputs.
