    checkpatch: add *_NOTIFIER_HEAD as var definition

has a typo, resulting in a truly amazing error message:

Unescaped left brace in regex is passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(?:
                                \n.}\s*$|
                                ^.DEFINE_(?^x:
                        [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*
                        (?:\s*\#\#\s*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*)*
                )\(rtl_usb_probe\)|
                                ^.DECLARE_(?^x:
                        [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*
                        (?:\s*\#\#\s*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*)*
                )\(rtl_usb_probe\)|
                                ^.LIST_HEAD\(rtl_usb_probe\)|
                                ^.{ <-- HERE (?^x:
                        [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*
                        (?:\s*\#\#\s*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z\d_]*)*
                )}_NOTIFIER_HEAD\(rtl_usb_probe\)|
