6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit c48a7c44a1d02516309015b6134c9bb982e17008 ]
The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell. This is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).
This also makes the code shorter.
This is analogous to commit 3231dd586277 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.

This patch seems to be missing something. In 6.6.15-rc1 I get a doc build failure with:
/builddir/build/BUILD/kernel-6.6.14-332-g1ff49073b88b/linux-6.6.15-0.rc1.1ff49073b88b.200.fc39.noarch/Documentation/sphinx/kerneldoc.py:133: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '.' line_regex = re.compile("^.. LINENO ([0-9]+)$")
Ah ... you're missing 86a0adc029d3 (Documentation/sphinx: fix Python string escapes). That is not a problem with this patch, though; I would expect you to get the same error (with Python 3.12) without.
Thanks,
