[PATCH] kdoc: xforms: move context attrs to function_xforms list

From: Randy Dunlap

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 18:16:17 EST


The context analysis macros are function attributes that should be
in the function_xforms list. Somewhere along the way they were
inserted into the struct_xforms list instead. This causes docs build
warnings to continue to be emitted for context macros.

Move the context analysis macros to the function_xforms list where
they should be to eliminate these warnings.
