doc: module: revert misconversions for MODULE_IMPORT_NS()
This reverts the misconversions introduced by commit cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string literal"). The affected descriptions refer to MODULE_IMPORT_NS() tags in general, rather than suggesting the use of the empty string ("") as the namespace. Fixes: cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string literal") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
