media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32: better name userspace pointers
In the past, "up" were an acronym for "user pointer" and "kp" for "kernel pointer". However, since commit a1dfb4c4 ("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.
