Subject: [PATCH 1/1] MACRO_ARG_REUSE in checkpatch.pl is confused about * in typeof

From: Rao Shoaib <rao.shoaib@...cle.com>

Example:

CHECK: Macro argument reuse 'ptr' - possible side-effects?
+#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_name)       \
+       do {                            \
+               unsigned long __off = offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rcu_name); \
+               struct rcu_head *__rptr = (void *)ptr + __off; \
+               __kfree_rcu(__rptr, __off); \
+       } while (0)

Fix supplied by Joe Perches.
