Linux static checking script checkpatch fails on usdt.h

[natoscott]

I proposed using usdt.h in rdma-core but the CI process there runs the checkpatch.pl script
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/scripts/checkpatch.pl)

... which fails with usdt.h in the following ways:

those warning are bogus, can you just ignore them? I don't think there is anything wrong with usdt.h, it's a false positive of checkpatch.pl. Is this a problem?

I'm discussing with the rdma-core folks - will let you know. Just figured you might come across this with other projects too, so good to be aware of it in case there are any easy tweaks that can be made to avoid such warnings.
