Subject: [PATCH 14/16] checkpatch: handle EXPORT_SYMBOL for DEVICE_ATTR and similar

Handly definitions similar to below.  The definition macro spits out
a symbol with a prefix.  Add matching of any identifier prefix:

    DEVICE_ATTR(link_power_management_policy, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR,
            ata_scsi_lpm_show, ata_scsi_lpm_put);
    EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dev_attr_link_power_management_policy);
