docs: kdoc: Make body_with_blank_line parsing more flexible
The regex in the BODY_WITH_BLANK_LINE case was looking for lines starting
with " * ", where exactly one space was allowed before the following text.
There are many kerneldoc comments where the authors have put multiple
spaces instead, leading to mis-formatting of the documentation.
Specifically, in this case, the description portion is associated with the
last of the parameters.
Allow multiple spaces in this context.
See, for example, synchronize_hardirq() and how its documentation is
formatted before and after the change.
