pylint disable= directives ignored for comments following the last statement in a file

[funous]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run a fresh installation of ubuntu with pylint to rule out any user-specific configuration:

docker run -ti ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt install python3-pip
pip3 install pylint

2. Create a file test.py that contains a TODO comment with a pylint: disable=fixme directive after the last statement in the file, such as this one:

# TODO: todo1 # pylint: disable=fixme
# TODO: todo2 # pylint: disable=fixme


def foo():
    return 1

# TODO: todo3 # pylint: disable=fixme
# TODO: todo4 # pylint: disable=fixme

3. Run pylint against it: pylint test.py

Current behavior

Fixme comments on line 8 and 9 are not ignored.

Your code has been rated at -15.00/10 (previous run: -15.00/10, +0.00)

Expected behavior

No fixme warnings for lines 8 and 9 - essentially the same output as if pylint --disable=fixme test2.py was used.

pylint --version output

Using #pragma pylint: disable=fixme at the top of the file doesn't solve the issue. Using --enable=useless-suppression actually causes this to be added to the output:

I:  8, 0: Useless suppression of 'fixme' (useless-suppression)
I:  9, 0: Useless suppression of 'fixme' (useless-suppression)
