printk: Move the printk() kerneldoc comment to its new home

Commit 337015573718 ("printk: Userspace format indexing support") turned
printk() into a macro, but left the kerneldoc comment for it with the (now)
_printk() function, resulting in this docs-build warning:

  kernel/printk/printk.c:1: warning: 'printk' not found

Move the kerneldoc comment back next to the (now) macro it's meant to
describe and have the docs build find it there.

+/**
+ * printk - print a kernel message
+ * @fmt: format string
+ *
+ * This is printk(). It can be called from any context. We want it to work.
+ *
+ * If printk indexing is enabled, _printk() is called from printk_index_wrap.
+ * Otherwise, printk is simply #defined to _printk.
+ *
+ * We try to grab the console_lock. If we succeed, it's easy - we log the
+ * output and call the console drivers.  If we fail to get the semaphore, we
+ * place the output into the log buffer and return. The current holder of
+ * the console_sem will notice the new output in console_unlock(); and will
+ * send it to the consoles before releasing the lock.
+ *
+ * One effect of this deferred printing is that code which calls printk() and
+ * then changes console_loglevel may break. This is because console_loglevel
+ * is inspected when the actual printing occurs.
+ *
+ * See also:
+ * printf(3)
+ *
+ * See the vsnprintf() documentation for format string extensions over C99.
