When M-x eval-defun is used on a defface, the face docstring is not
updated.  For example in the scratch buffer M-x eval-defun on

    (defface my-test '((t (:foreground "blue")))
      "This is a blue face docstring.")

and then on

    (defface my-test '((t (:foreground "red")))
      "This is a red face docstring.")

followed by

    M-x describe-face my-test

shows

    "This is a blue face docstring"

in the help, where I expected it t be "red face" after evaluating the
second form.

The face colour and the display, is updated correctly (to red) as far as
I can tell, but not the docstring somehow.
