Subject: checkpatch: ignore warning designated initializers using NR_CPUS

Some max_length wants to hold as large room as possible to ensure enough
size to tackle with the biggest NR_CPUS.  An example below:

kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:
static struct cftype legacy_files[] = {
        {
                .name = "cpus",
                .seq_show = cpuset_common_seq_show,
                .write = cpuset_write_resmask,
                .max_write_len = (100U + 6 * NR_CPUS),
                .private = FILE_CPULIST,
        },
	...
}
