Miguel Ojeda 252fea131e rust: kbuild: clean output before running rustdoc
`rustdoc` can get confused when generating documentation into a folder
that contains generated files from other `rustdoc` versions.

For instance, running something like:

    rustup default 1.78.0
    make LLVM=1 rustdoc
    rustup default 1.88.0
    make LLVM=1 rustdoc

may generate errors like:

    error: couldn't generate documentation: invalid template: last line expected to start with a comment
      |
      = note: failed to create or modify "./Documentation/output/rust/rustdoc/src-files.js"

Thus just always clean the output folder before generating the
documentation -- we are anyway regenerating it every time the `rustdoc`
target gets called, at least for the time being.

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.
