doc-rst: linux_tv: reformat all syscall pages The syscall pages are written to be used also as man-pages. However, they don't match the format used by kernel-doc generated pages from DocBook. Rewrite them to match it. One side effect is that now all such pages at the book will have the same format, reducing the format differences between DVB and the other parts of the book.

===========
The NET_ADD_IF ioctl system call selects the Packet ID (PID) that
contains a TCP/IP traffic, the type of encapsulation to be used (MPE or
ULE) and the interface number for the new interface to be created. When
the system call successfully returns, a new virtual network interface is
created.
The struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`::ifnum field will be
filled with the number of the created interface.

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
