Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add uninitialized_var to the declaration_macro
 list

Using uninitialized_var reports a false positive for
"Missing blank line after declarations".

Fix it by adding uninitialized_var to the $declaration_macros
exceptions list.

Move the macro list after $Type is declared.
