These are caused by checkpatch incorrectly parsing its internal
representation of a statement block for struct's (or anything else that is
a statement block encapsulated in {}'s that also ends with a ';').  Fix
this by properly parsing a statement block.

An example:

+struct dummy_type dummy = {
+ .foo = "baz",
+};
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);
+
+static int dummy_func(void)
+{
+ return -EDUMMYCODE;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy_func);

WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately \
follow its function/variable
#19: FILE: dummy.c:4:
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);

The above warning is issued when it should not be.
