checkpatch: net and drivers/net: warn on missing blank line after variable declaration
Networking prefers this style, so warn when it's not used.
Networking uses:
void foo(int bar)
{
int baz;
code...
}
not
void foo(int bar)
{
int baz;
code...
}
There are a limited number of false positives when using macros to
declare variables like:
WARNING: networking uses a blank line after declarations

+ int dif = sk->sk_bound_dev_if;
+ INET_ADDR_COOKIE(acookie, saddr, daddr)
