This on is indeed a problem.  I think it was not detected in testing,
because in the current kernel the rule never applies.  But Denis, in

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)
                (size,\(GFP_KERNEL\|GFP_USER\|
                      \(GFP_KERNEL\|GFP_USER\)|__GFP_NOWARN\));

you do indeed need to put - in front of the second and third lines as
well.

Markus, if you would limit your comments to suggesting SmPL code that is
actually correct, ie that you have tested, and 2) stop suggesting stupid
things over and over like that putting all of the virtual declarations on
the same line would save space (it does, but who cares), then I would take
your suggestions more seriously.
