Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2118ba7da6 tools/docs: sphinx-build-wrapper: move rust doc builder to wrapper
Simplify even further the docs Makefile by moving rust build logic
to the wrapper.

After this change, running make on an environment with rust enabled
works as expected.

With CONFIG_RUST:

    $ make O=/tmp/foo LLVM=1 SPHINXDIRS=peci htmldocs
    make[1]: Entrando no diretório '/tmp/foo'

    Using alabaster theme
    Using Python kernel-doc
      GEN     Makefile
      DESCEND objtool
      CC      arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s
      INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
      CALL    /new_devel/docs/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
      RUSTC L rust/core.o
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs
    ...

Without it:
    $ make SPHINXDIRS=peci htmldocs
    Using alabaster theme
    Using Python kernel-doc

Both work as it is it is supposed to do.

After the change, it is also possible to build directly with the script
by passing "--rustodoc".

if CONFIG_RUST, this works fine:

    $ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --sphinxdirs peci --rustdoc -- htmldocs
    Using alabaster theme
    Using Python kernel-doc
      SYNC    include/config/auto.conf
    ...
      RUSTC L rust/core.o
    ...

If not, it will produce a warning that RUST may be disabled:

    $ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --sphinxdirs peci --rustdoc -- htmldocs
    Using alabaster theme
    Using Python kernel-doc

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
