Subject: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: add *_NOTIFIER_HEAD as var definition
Date:   Thu,  4 Jul 2019 13:44:57 +0300
Message-Id: <20190704104457.30045-1-gilad@benyossef.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Add *_NOTIFIER_HEAD as variable definition to avoid code like this:

ATOMIC_NOTIFIER_HEAD(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(foo);

From triggering the the following warning:
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable

Changes from v1:
- Better RegExp as suggested by Joe Perches.
