checkpatch: fix __attribute__ matching
In the following code, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.
