[PATCH v2] docs: scripts/kernel-doc: Detect absence of FILE arg

[Akira Yokosawa]

Currently, when there is no FILE argument following a switch such
as -man, -rst, or -none, kernel-doc exits with a warning from perl
(long msg folded):

    Use of uninitialized value $ARGV[0] in pattern match (m//)
    at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 438.

, which is unhelpful.

Improve the behavior by adding a check at the bottom of parsing
loop.
If the argument is absent, display help text and exit with
the code of 1 (via usage()).

Changes since v1 [1]:
  - No code change
  - Amend subject and reword the whole changelog.
  - The message from perl is not an error but a warning.
     (I thank Tomasz for pointing it out.)

I thought the change of exit code might affect sphinx-build processing,
and tested with several runs of "make htmldocs" and "make pdfdocs".
So far, I've not seen any regression.

[1] v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1c71e5d2-f87e-6c8e-6176-e5ce42e4d41b@xxxxxxxxx

        Thanks, Akira
