That seems more like a checkpatch.pl bug -- clearly you cannot put
a do {} while loop into a declaration like here. I don't know who comes up
with these useless warnings? At least they should be made warnings,
not errors and then be ignored if they don't make any sense like this.

The change imho makes the code worse.

In this case it's not wrong either. It's a bit paranoid, but not wrong.

NR_CPUS is only wrong when used in arrays.
