Local variables shadowing other local variables or parameters make the
code needlessly hard to understand. Bugs love to hide in such code.
Evidence: commit bbde656263d (migration/rdma: Fix save_page method to
fail on polling error).
Enable -Wshadow=local to prevent such issues. Possible thanks to
recent cleanups. Enabling -Wshadow would prevent more issues, but
we're not yet ready for that.
As usual, the warning is only enabled when the compiler recognizes it.
GCC does, Clang doesn't.
Some shadowed locals remain in bsd-user. Since BSD prefers Clang,
let's not wait for its cleanup.
