Subject: [PATCH 09/13] checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@...onical.com>

Ensure we do not report identifiers containing the word static as static
declarations.  For example this should not be reported as an unecessary
assignement of 0:

	long nr_static = 0;
