[PATCH] checkpatch: add an exclusion for 'for_each' helper macros

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

checkpatch currently complains about macros like the following:

#define for_each_dma_cap_mask(cap, mask) \
	for ((cap) = first_dma_cap(mask);       \
		(cap) < DMA_TX_TYPE_END;        \
		(cap) = next_dma_cap((cap), (mask)))
