Rewrite macro function with the GNU extension typeof
to remove a possible side-effects of MACRO argument reuse "x".
- Problem could rise if arguments have different types
and different use though.

I wasn't sure about this the first time around due to the use of GNU
extensions in uapi header files, but I see there are a few, rare
instances of this GNU extension elsewhere in other uapi headers (mainly
in netfilter stuff), so I guess it's OK. However, it does mean that
user code that uses these macros will no longer compile unless GNU
extensions are enabled.
Does anyone know any "best practices" regarding use of GNU extensions in
user header files under Linux?
