sched: Fix some kernel-doc warnings

When building the htmldocs (in verbose mode), scripts/kernel-doc
reports the follwing type of warnings:

  Warning(kernel/sched/core.c:936): No description found for return value of 'task_curr'
  ...

Fix those by:

 - adding the missing descriptions
 - using "Return" sections for the descriptions
