[PATCH] powerpc/xmon: Avoid unsequenced accesses to tsk in show_task()

[Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>]

After a recent improvement in clang to warn on unsequenced accesses to
volatile variables [1], an instance appears in show_task(), which can
break the build with CONFIG_PPC_WERROR=y / CONFIG_WERROR=y / W=e:

  arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:3262:3: error: unsequenced accesses to volatile qualified 'tsk' [-Werror,-Wunsequenced]
   3261 |         printf("%16px %16lx %16px %6d %6d %c %2d %s\n", tsk,
        |                                                         ~~~
   3262 |                 tsk->thread.ksp, tsk->thread.regs,
        |                 ^

Per C11 5.1.2.3.2, accessing a volatile object is a side effect. Per C11
6.5.2, unsequenced side effects on the same scalar object are undefined
behavior. Per C11 6.5.2.2.10/12, the evaluation of arguments in a
function call is indeterminately sequenced, meaning any side effects in
the arguments are unsequenced.

tsk was made volatile in commit a2305e3de819 ("powerpc: mark local
variables around longjmp as volatile") to ensure its value in
show_tasks() was properly restored after returning from a potential
longjmp(). Aside from that, the value is not being modified through
other means, so rename the volatile parameter and add a local variable
named tsk to hold its value throughout show_task(), clearing up the
warning.
