[PATCH] checkpatch: Reduce false positives for "Missing blank line after declarations" test

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

Avoid some false positives for this test by adding
a few common macro types that declare variables.

	DECLARE_<FOO>
	DEFINE_<BAR>
	LIST_HEAD

Also allow extended bitfield declarations like

	int a:5,
	    b:2,
	    c:1;

and avoid emitting this warning on declarations like

	int foo[bar]
	       [baz];
