Fix the following W=1 kernel warnings:
kernel/trace/trace.c:1181: warning: expecting prototype for
tracing_snapshot_cond_data(). Prototype was for
tracing_cond_snapshot_data() instead.

Thank you for working to fix docs warnings. Unfortunately, this is not
the correct fix.

Here you are removing kerneldoc markup for comments that are entirely
unrelated to the warning in question. Why are you doing that? That
will remove this documentation (for an exported function) from the docs
build.

The same question applies here.

Here you got the right fix - getting the name of the function right in
the comment - but you still took out the kerneldoc marker.
These changes have the effect of making the warning go away (and more),
but don't fix the real problem - that tracing_cond_snapshot_data() has
incorrect kerneldoc documentation. Unless I'm missing something
fundamental (which happens often), the right fix is just the change of
function name in the comment.
Thanks,
