riscv: uaccess: Fix -Wuninitialized and -Wshadow in __put_user_nocheck
After a recent change in clang to strengthen uninitialized warnings [1],
there is a warning from val being uninitialized in __put_user_nocheck
when called from futex_put_value():

  kernel/futex/futex.h:326:18: warning: variable 'val' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Wuninitialized]
    326 |         unsafe_put_user(val, to, Efault);
        |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:464:21: note: expanded from macro 'unsafe_put_user'
    464 |         __put_user_nocheck(x, (ptr), label)
        |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:314:36: note: expanded from macro '__put_user_nocheck'
    314 |                 __inttype(x) val = (__inttype(x))x;                     \
        |                              ~~~                 ^

While not on by default, -Wshadow flags the same mistake:

  kernel/futex/futex.h:326:2: warning: declaration shadows a local variable [-Wshadow]
    326 |         unsafe_put_user(val, to, Efault);
        |         ^
  arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:464:2: note: expanded from macro 'unsafe_put_user'
    464 |         __put_user_nocheck(x, (ptr), label)
        |         ^
  arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:314:16: note: expanded from macro '__put_user_nocheck'
    314 |                 __inttype(x) val = (__inttype(x))x;                     \
        |                              ^
  kernel/futex/futex.h:320:48: note: previous declaration is here
    320 | static __always_inline int futex_put_value(u32 val, u32 __user *to)
        |                                                ^

Use a three underscore prefix for the val variable in __put_user_nocheck
to avoid clashing with either val or __val, which are both used within
the put_user macros, clearing up all warnings.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
