checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration
Ensure we do not report identifiers containing the word static as static declarations. For example this should not be reported as an unecessary assignement of 0: long nr_static = 0; Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
