clang-format.. The kernel config is set to prefer a line up under the
( if all the arguments will fit within the 80 cols otherwise it does a
1 tab continuation indent.

The rtnl_unlock can move up a line too. My editor is failing me on
this.

This is one tab. I don't think one tab is odd, it seems pretty popular
