checkpatch: macros which define structure members are not complex
We often see macros which define structure members, these are not complex
and necessarily do not have braces or brackets. For example:
#define _PLIST_HEAD_INIT(head) \
.prio_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).prio_list), \
.node_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).node_list)
