870b26fa2d Update several example code for newer kernel 
Known issues with current example code:
If you using newer kernel(e.g linux 5.11.x) to compile the example code,
you may meet following error:
1. syscall.c:83:50: error: ‘ksys_close’ undeclared;
2. cryptosk.c:17:24: error: field ‘sg’ has incomplete type
3. cryptosk.c:143:9: error: implicit declaration of function
‘get_random_bytes’
4. error: macro "DECLARE_TASKLET" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

Solutions/workaround:
1. In syscall.c, replace #include <linux/syscalls.h> with
#include <linux/fdtable.h> and replace  ksys_close with close_fd
if the kernel version >= 5.11. [1][2]
2. Add #include <linux/scatterlist.h> into cryptosk.c
3. Add #include <linux/random.h> into cryptosk.c
4. In bottomhalf.c and example_tasklet.c, replace DECLARE_TASKLET
with DECLARE_TASKLET_OLD and dispose third argument(0L). [3]

Improve the descriptions about reference count (#62) 
The term "reference count" would be better than "use count."
In addition, the usage of module_refcount(THIS_MODULE) was appended
for the reference counter query.

2d368210ce Introduce \src to generate Linux kernel source hyperlinks 
The new command \src was introduced for preliminary hyperlink generation
which points to Linux kernel source code. At present, stable/linux.git
was referred:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git

We might switch to specific LTS kernels once requested.

da3dd34cd2 Revise the path of Linux kernel headers 
This patch uses the relative path to Linux kernel headers in source tree

introduce \href with appropriate hyperlinks to Linux kernel tree.

proc_ops: Be aware of kernel API changes (#13) 
The proc_ops structure is defined in <include/linux/proc_fs.h> since
Linux v5.6+.
In older kernels, file_operations structure is used for custom hooks in
/proc file system. However, it contains some members that are unnecessary
in VFS, and every time VFS expands file_operations set, /proc code comes
bloated.

On the other hand, not only the space, but also some operations were
saved by this structure to improve its performance.

Revise hello-5 and its output (#38) 
For the example module hello_5, the book showed the incorrect output
in corresponding with its execution results.

In addition, this patch changes from myintArray[2] = {-1, -1} to
myintArray[2] = {420, 420}, which help the readers distinguish from
the kernel messages.

Generate HTML via make4ht (#20) 
This patch generates HTML files with "make4ht" in the "html" directory.

Known issues with "make4ht":
Running "make4ht -suf html5 -d html lkmpg.tex" will cause the following
flaws:
1. The layout was unsatisfying.
2. After parsing TeX, it stoped at "\tableofcontents" with errors.
3. Several unneeded files were generated.
4. No way to specify the destination filename for HTML generation.

Solutions/workaround:
1. Use customized configuration file "html.cfg" to specify the layout style.
2. Turn off the \tableofcontents section when using make4ht. However, this
    results in the lack of table of contents in HTML. It can be fixed by
    appending "\Configure{tableofcontents*}{chapter,section,subsection}"
    to configuration file.
3. The build system removes the temporary files.
4. Use a symbolic link "index.html" to "lkmpg.html".

This patch enforces the assumption of using as a non-root user. That is,
it is necessary to specify sudo for the essential commands such as
