[PATCH v3 3/4] tracing/user_events: Rename link fields for clarity

From: Beau Belgrave
Date: Fri May 19 2023 - 19:08:43 EST


Currently most list_head fields of various structs within user_events
are simply named link. This causes folks to keep additional context in
their head when working with the code, which can be confusing.

Instead of using link, describe what the actual link is, for example:
list_del_rcu(&mm->link);

Changes into:
list_del_rcu(&mm->mms_link);

The reader now is given a hint the link is to the mms global list
instead of having to remember or spot check within the code.
