This commit refines function comment headers for improved accuracy
and consistency. Key changes include:
- Corrected parameter/return descriptions (e.g., `logtime`, `__daemon`).
- Added missing and removed incorrect parameter documentation (e.g.,
`tcp_vu_sock_recv`, `ndp`).
- Standardized comments to the `/** ... */` style for functions
like `udp_flow_close` and `ns_enter`.
- Ensured function names in comments consistently use `()`.
- Addressed minor typos and updated comments for renamed functions.
