docs: ignore __counted_by attribute in structure definitions
kernel-doc appeared to ignore __counted_by, but appearances can be deceiving; it caused member names to not be recognized, which manifested as a number of spurious "Excess struct member" warnings. Filter that attribute out and reduce the warning onslaught slightly. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
