Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add union and struct to the exceptions list

This patch add the struct and union keywords to the exceptions list of
the checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple
statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not
possible to build a struct or union with a macro.
