slab.h: remove duplicate kmalloc declaration and fix kernel-doc warnings

Fix kernel-doc warning for duplicate definition of 'kmalloc':

  Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:9483: element refentry: validity error : ID API-kmalloc already defined
  <refentry id="API-kmalloc">

Also combine the kernel-doc info from the 2 kmalloc definitions into one
block and remove the "see kcalloc" comment since kmalloc now contains the
@flags info.

  * kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory

+ *
+ * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.  May use emergency pools.

+ *
+ * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
+ *
+ * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
+ *
+ * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
+ *
+ * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
+ *
+ * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.

+ * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
+ *   Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
+ *   slab created with SLAB_DMA.
+ *
+ * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
+ * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
+ *
+ * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
+ *   trying to return cache-warm pages.
+ *
+ * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
+ *
+ * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
+ *   (think twice before using).
+ *
+ * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
+ *   then give up at once.
+ *
+ * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
+ *
+ * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
+ *
+ * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
+ * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
