David Gibson 7850ad5c39 [POWERPC] Add documentation for the zImage's gunzip convenience functions
This patch adds documenting comments to the gunzip convenience
functions added in commit ad9d2716cf.
It also removes a stray newline, and an unused global variable.

/*
* These functions are designed to make life easy for decompressing
* kernel images, initrd images or any other gzip compressed image,
* particularly if its useful to decompress part of the image (e.g. to
* examine headers) before decompressing the remainder.
*
* To use:
* - declare a gunzip_state structure
* - use gunzip_start() to initialize the state, associating it
* with a stream of compressed data
* - use gunzip_partial(), gunzip_exactly() and gunzip_discard()
* in any combination to extract pieces of data from the stream
* - Finally use gunzip_finish() to extract the tail of the
* compressed stream and wind up zlib
