Currently, there are 447 files in the kernel tree, which use 'typedef
struct/union' syntax for defining some struct/union. In total, there
are ~1290 such occurrences in the kernel tree.

However, kernel-doc does not support it currently, and running
scripts/kernel-doc -none on include/linux/zstd.h emits:
"error: Cannot parse struct or union!"

Add support for parsing struct/union following this syntax.
