percpu: Fix self-assignment of __old in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg()
After commit c5c0ba953b8c ("percpu: Add {raw,this}_cpu_try_cmpxchg()"), clang built ARCH=arm and ARCH=arm64 kernels with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE started panicking on boot in alloc_vmap_area(): [ 0.000000] kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1638! [ 0.000000] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 0.000000] Modules linked in: [ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc2-ARCH+ #1 [ 0.000000] Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) [ 0.000000] pstate: 200000c9 (nzCv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 0.000000] pc : alloc_vmap_area+0x7ec/0x7f8 [ 0.000000] lr : alloc_vmap_area+0x7e8/0x7f8 Compiling mm/vmalloc.c with W=2 reveals an instance of -Wshadow, which helps uncover that through macro expansion, '__old = *(ovalp)' in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() can become '__old = *(&__old)' through raw_cpu_generic_cmpxchg(), which results in garbage being assigned to the inner __old and the cmpxchg not working properly. Add an extra underscore to __old in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() so that there is no more self-assignment, which resolves the panics.
