Subject: [PATCH v3] locking/local_lock: s/l/__l/ and s/tl/__tl/ to reduce
 risk of shadowing

From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@...nel.org>

The Linux kernel coding style advises to avoid common variable
names in function-like macros to reduce the risk of collisions.

Throughout local_lock_internal.h, several macros use the rather common
variable names 'l' and 'tl'. This already resulted in an actual
collision: the __local_lock_acquire() function like macro is currently
shadowing the parameter 'l' of the:

  class_##_name##_t class_##_name##_constructor(_type *l)

function factory from linux/cleanup.h.

Rename the variable 'l' to '__l' and the variable 'tl' to '__tl'
throughout the file to fix the current name collision and to prevent
future ones.

[ bigeasy: Rebase, update all l and tl instances in macros ]

Looks harmless enough to make everyone happy.

v2…v3: 
  - Rebase

v1…v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250925-local_lock_internal_fix_shadow-v2-1-d3b85ee775a4@kernel.org/

  - __lock conflicted with an existing definition in lockdep.c. Use
    instead __l (and also, to keep things consistent, use __tl instead
    of tl for the trylock).

  - Apply the renaming to the entire file and not just to
    __local_lock_acquire().

  - Rewrite the patch description accordingly.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250923-local_lock_internal_fix_shadow-v1-1-14e313c88a46@kernel.org
