scripts/find-unused-docs.sh invokes scripts/kernel-doc to find out if a
source file contains kerneldoc or not.
However, as it passes the no longer supported "-text" option to
scripts/kernel-doc, the latter prints out its help text, causing all
files to be considered containing kerneldoc.
Get rid of these false positives by removing the no longer supported
"-text" option from the scripts/kernel-doc invocation.

Sigh, I guess I should have tried that script before telling people to use
it. Thanks for the fix; I've applied it with a CC: stable tag.
