I forgot to say "for TRACE_EVENT() macros". This is not about what
checkpatch says about other code.  

trace has its own code style and checkpatch needs another
parsing mechanism just for it, including the alignment to
open parenthesis test.

If you have a template patch to add the parsing mechanism, I'd be happy
to try to fill in the style.
