TL;DR
Please either fix RST syntax or move text outside /*\ section.

IMHO this is an implementation detail, I don't think we need it in the test
catalog docs [1]. I would just put this comment above macro definition: #define
BEFORE_6_17_9 1.

Also this is a wrong RST syntax. FYI we parse this into sphinx docs [1] and
this breaks formatting of the list:

* EBADF: invalid mnt_ns_fd

This check was introduced for kernel commit 78f0e33cd6c9 (“fs/namespace: correctly handle errors returned by grab_requested_mnt_ns”) introduced in v6.18-rc7 and backported to v6.17.9. - EFAULT: req or mnt_id are unaccessible memories - EINVAL: invalid flags or mnt_id request - ENOENT: non-existent mount point

If you run:
$ cd doc; make setup && make

you'll get local build of the documentation, see ./html/users/test_catalog.html#listmount04

Kind regards,
Petr
