Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] checkpatch: add MA_STATE to declaration_macros

MA_STATE is used repeatedly as a declaration, add it to the list.

I left out the $Storage regex component, since I saw no use-cases
needing it, via: $> grep -r -B1 '\bMA_STATE'

This change to checkpatch --strict behavior fixes the following
lkp-robot report, reproduced locally.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild/202511071306.OJpTf7fK-lkp@intel.com/
