Vegard Nossum 3231dd5862 docs: kernel_abi.py: fix command injection
The kernel-abi directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.

Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).

This also makes the code shorter.

ABI stable symbols
==================
Documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable.
Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no
restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed
for at least 2 years.
Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always
be available.
