checkpatch: fix false EXPORT_SYMBOL warning
Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning, static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key; struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map = STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key); EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this, WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.
