As reported by Randy, currently kdoc_files can go into endless
looks when symlinks are used:
$ ln -s . Documentation/peci/foo
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc Documentation/peci/
...
File "/new_devel/docs/scripts/lib/kdoc/kdoc_files.py", line 52, in _parse_dir
if entry.is_dir():
~~~~~~~~~~~~^^
OSError: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: 'Documentation/peci/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo/foo'
Prevent that by not considering symlinks as directories.
