process_proto_type() is using a complex regex and a "while True" loop to split a declaration into chunks and, in the end, count brackets. Switch to using a simpler regex to just do the split directly, and handle each chunk as it comes. The result is, IMO, easier to understand and reason about. The old algorithm would occasionally elide the space between function parameters; see struct rng_alg->generate(), foe example. The only output difference is to not elide that space, which is more correct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
