Checkpatch errors that should be downgraded

In the trace headers, the following should probably be ignored:

CHECK: Lines should not end with a '('
#73: FILE: include/trace/events/rxrpc.h:1947:
+ TP_STRUCT__entry(

CHECK: Lines should not end with a '('
#80: FILE: include/trace/events/rxrpc.h:1954:
+ TP_fast_assign(

as it's standard practice to bump the contents onto the next line for these
two macros.

Also checkpatch is wrong in giving this error:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
#37: FILE: include/trace/events/rxrpc.h:425:
+#define rxrpc_sack_traces \
+ EM(rxrpc_sack_advance, "ADV") \
+ EM(rxrpc_sack_fill, "FIL") \
+ EM(rxrpc_sack_nack, "NAK") \
+ EM(rxrpc_sack_none, "---") \
+ E_(rxrpc_sack_oos, "OOS")

as the contents, when found in a trace header, are going to be used to
generate a string table and maybe an enum. It's standard practice, so if it
could be ignored in trace headers or at least downgraded to a warning?

Thanks,
