A recent addition to the DRM tree for 4.7 added 'extern "C"' guards

This changes the headers_check.pl script to not warn about this.
I'm listing the merge commit as introducing the problem, because
there are several patches in this branch that each do this for
one file.

Thanks Arnd !

As Dave mentioned - the best solution would be to have the hunks
generated on the fly. Sadly Perl and me don't go hand in hand so if
you're interested I'll be really grateful.
