Assuming that was a copy/paste translation of
tabs to spaces, the first form is more common
in kernel sources and Lindent isn't doing the
right thing here.

You could also use scripts/checkpatch.pl with
the --fix option.

./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix <file>

with various --types=<TYPE,...> options.

Maybe use: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/23/504
