Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook
Mauro says: This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST. The first version was originally send as 3 patch series: [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file under Documentation/security, after both this series and a security Documentation patch series gets merged. It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on some kernel-doc markups. I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all existing ReST books.

Finally, there are thousands of plain text documentation files scattered around
``Documentation``. Some of these will likely be converted to reStructuredText
over time, but the bulk of them will remain in plain text.
