There are some 'checks' show that macro argument reused will possible take side-effects.
Like this:

CHECK:MACRO_ARG_REUSE: Macro argument reuse 'y' - possible side-effects?
#56: FILE: drivers/net/txgbe/base/txgbe_regs.h:35:
+#define ROUND_UP(x, y)          (((x) + (y) - 1) / (y) * (y))

But the example given in the DPDK coding convention is:

#define MACRO(x, y) do {      \
		variable = (x) + (y);   \
		(y) += 2;            \
} while(0)

It seems to reuse argument, too.
Should I fix this 'check', or treat it as a false positive?
