Coccinelle complains about the nested reuse of the pointer `iter' with different
pointer type:

./fs/proc/kcore.c:515:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499

./fs/proc/kcore.c:614:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499

Replacing `struct kcore_list *iter' with `struct kcore_list *tmp' doesn't change the
scope and the functionality is the same and coccinelle seems happy.

NOTE: There was an issue with using `struct kcore_list *pos' as the nested iterator.
      The build did not work!

Well that's dumb of it.  Still, the code is presently a bit weird and
we don't mind working around such third-party issues.

It worked for me.  What's wrong with that?

`tmp' is a really poor identifier :(

Let's try `pos':

Now with next-20241031 it works for me too:

Unless I badly missed something, the build is OK.

I see that it is already applied in next-20241031 and it is just running.
