Local variables shadowing other local variables or parameters make the
code needlessly hard to understand.  Bugs love to hide in such code.
Evidence: "[PATCH v3 1/7] migration/rdma: Fix save_page method to fail
on polling error".

Enabling -Wshadow would prevent bugs like this one.  But we have to
clean up all the offenders first.

Quite a few people responded to my calls for help.  Thank you so much!

I'm collecting patches in my git repo at
https://repo.or.cz/qemu/armbru.git in branch shadow-next.  All but the
last two are in a pending pull request.

My test build is down to seven files with warnings.  "[PATCH v2 0/3]
hexagon: GETPC() and shadowing fixes" takes care of four, but it needs a
rebase.

Remaining three:

Gerd, Marc-André, or anybody else?

More warnings may lurk in code my test build doesn't compile.  Need a
full CI build with -Wshadow=local to find them.  Anybody care to kick
one off?
