commit 9ce02f0fc68326dd1f87a0a3a4c6ae7fdd39e6f6 upstream.

The macro __WARN_FLAGS() uses a local variable named "f". This being a
common name, there is a risk of shadowing other variables.

For example, GCC would yield:

| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

For reference, sparse also warns about it, c.f. [1].

This patch renames the variable from f to __flags (with two underscore
prefixes as suggested in the Linux kernel coding style [2]) in order
to prevent collisions.
