Of the two options I'd pick 1, perhaps due to my deeply seated
"disappointment" in the quality of checkpatch warnings :)
Complaining about missing comment when there's a kdoc is a false
positive in my book. But option 2 works, too.

I haven't tested it but there's also the option 3 - providing 
the kdoc inline, something like:

+	/** @vtbl_lock: Lock for vtbl in shared memory */
+	spinlock_t vtbl_lock;

Again, no strong preference on which option you choose.
kdoc warnings may get emitted during builds so we should avoid them.
