docs: kernel-doc.rst: improve structs chapter 

There is a mess on this chapter: it suggests that even
enums and unions should be documented with "struct". That's
not the way it should be ;-)

Fix it and move it to happen earlier.

Structure, union, and enumeration documentation
-----------------------------------------------
The general format of a struct, union, and enum kernel-doc comment is::
/**
* struct struct_name - Brief description.
* @argument: Description of member member_name.
*
* Description of the structure.
*/
On the above, ``struct`` is used to mean structs. You can also use ``union``
and ``enum`` to describe unions and enums. ``argument`` is used
to mean struct and union member names as well as enumerations in an enum.
The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
ends with a member description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
comment block.
The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure,
in order, with the member descriptions.

Below, "struct" is used to mean structs, unions and enums, and "member" is used
to mean struct and union members as well as enumerations in an enum.
The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
ends with a ``@member:`` description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
comment block.
The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure, in
order, with the ``@member:`` descriptions. The ``@member:`` descriptions must
begin on the very next line following the opening brief function description
line, with no intervening blank comment lines. The ``@member:`` descriptions may
span multiple lines. The continuation lines may contain indentation.
