Subject: [PATCH] [v3] printf: fix errname.c list

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

On most architectures, gcc -Wextra warns about the list of error
numbers containing both EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK:

lib/errname.c:15:67: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   15 | #define E(err) [err + BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(err <= 0 || err > 300)] = "-" #err
      |                                                                   ^~~
lib/errname.c:172:2: note: in expansion of macro 'E'
  172 |  E(EDEADLK), /* EDEADLOCK */
      |  ^

On parisc, a similar error happens with -ECANCELLED, which is an
alias for ECANCELED.

Make the EDEADLK printing conditional on the number being distinct
from EDEADLOCK, and remove the -ECANCELLED bit completely as it
can never be hit.

To ensure these are correct, add static_assert lines that verify
all the remaining aliases are in fact identical to the canonical
name.

It looks I promised to resend this one in May but never did.
The patch is still useful, please apply.
