docs: kdoc: Expand 'at_least' when creating parameter list

sphinx doesn't know that the kernel headers do:

    #define at_least static

Do this replacement before declarations are passed to it.

This prevents errors like the following from appearing once the
lib/crypto/ kernel-doc is wired up to the sphinx build:

   linux/Documentation/crypto/libcrypto:128: ./include/crypto/sha2.h:773: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected ']' in end of array operator. [error at 59]
  void sha512_final (struct sha512_ctx *ctx, u8 out[at_least SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE])
