ftrace: Fix most kernel-doc warnings

Reduce the number of kernel-doc warnings from 52 down to 10, i.e.,
fix 42 kernel-doc warnings by (a) using the Returns: format for
function return values or (b) using "@var:" instead of "@var -"
for function parameter descriptions.

Fix one return values list so that it is formatted correctly when
rendered for output.

Spell "non-zero" with a hyphen in several places.
