Documentation/CodingStyle simply says continuation lines "are always
substantially shorter than the parent and are placed substantially to
the right".

It would also make it harder to distinguish the continuation lines from
the if-body:

        if (himport_ex(...
                sizeof(...
                0, 0, ...) {
                body goes here, at the same column
                have to look for the brace to distinguish
        }
