This series fixes a couple more reproducibility bugs:
1. The 'mandocs' target always creates dummy man pages in the source
tree. Aside from their very existence being a nasty hack, and the
wrong-ness of writing to the source tree, they contain a build
timestamp and if we build a package of the
Currently the encoding of documents generated by DocBook depends on
the current locale. Make the output reproducible independently of
the locale, by setting the encoding to UTF-8 (LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8) by
preference, or ASCII (LC_CTYPE=C) as a fallback.
LC_CTYPE can normally be overridden by LC_ALL,
Currently kernel-doc generates a dummy DocBook file when asked to
convert a C source file with no structured comments. For an
out-of-tree build (objtree != srctree), the title of the output file
is the absolute path name of the C source file, which later results
in a manual page being created
