Subject: dma-buf: Update kerneldoc for sync_file_create

From: Daniel Vetter <[email protected]>

commit 24a367348a017555f982a9ee137070a7a821fa97 upstream.

This was missed when adding a dma_fence_get call. While at it also remove the kerneldoc for the static inline helper - no point documenting internals down to every detail.
