This causes following sparse warning on x86:

make allnoconfig && touch init/version.c && make CHECK="sparse
-Wshadow" C=1 init/version.o
#
# No change to .config
#
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
CHK include/generated/compile.h
CC init/version.o
CHECK init/version.c
init/version.c: note: in included file (through
include/linux/rculist.h, include/linux/pid.h, include/linux/sched.h,
include/linux/utsname.h):
./include/linux/rcupdate.h:1007:9: warning: symbol 'f' shadows an earlier one
./include/linux/rcupdate.h:1001:47: originally declared here


Affected versions (from the ones on kernel.org):

* 5.17 - bfb1a7c91fb7 ("x86/bug: Merge annotate_reachable() into
_BUG_FLAGS() asm")
* 5.16.17 - fe0c95903a68 ("x86/bug: Merge annotate_reachable() into
_BUG_FLAGS() asm")

Cannot be seen when changing the variable name:
