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\(rtl_usb_probe\)|

(Rexexp dump continues for 236 lines total)

Fix the typo.
