Subject: checkpatch mistake on XA_STATE?

I see the following:

	WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
	#1921: FILE: fs/cifs/smb2ops.c:4684:
	+       struct folio *folio;
	+       XA_STATE(xas, buffer, 0);

but XA_STATE() technically *is* a declaration.

Should checkpatch treat it as such?
