media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32: better name userspace pointers

Browse Source

In the past, "up" were an acronym for "user pointer" and "kp" for
"kernel pointer". However, since commit a1dfb4c48cc1 ("media:
v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: refactor compat ioctl32 logic"), both
are now __user pointers.

So, the usage of "kp" is really misleading there. So, rename
both to just "p32" and "p64" everywhere it occurs, in order to
make peace with this file's namespace.

There are two exceptions to "up/kp" nomenclature: at
alloc_userspace() and at do_video_ioctl().

There, a new userspace pointer were allocated, in order to store
the 64 bits version of the ioctl. Those were called as "up_native",
with is, IMHO, an even worse name, as "native" could mislead of
being the arguments that were filled from userspace. I almost
renamed it to just "p64", but, after thinking more about that,
it sounded better to call it as "new_p64", as this makes clearer
that this is the data structure that was allocated inside this
file in order to be used to pass/retrieve data when calling the
64-bit ready file->f_op->unlocked_ioctl() function.
