I'm curious where this volatile is coming from, I don't see it in
__efiapi. But even if it's there, shouldn't it be inside parens

efi_status_t (volatile *exit)(...);

Can you please add tests for this case into selftests (probably
progs/btf_dump_test_case_syntax.c?) So it's clear what's the input and
what's the expected output.
