percpu: Fix self-assignment of __old in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg()

Browse Source 
After commit c5c0ba953b ("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] 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.
