  Add missing parentheses around "_name" parameter use in KLIST_INIT().
It keeps list macros consistent, and prevents unexpected operator
precedence situations, for example:

  struct klist a[1] = { KLIST_INIT(*a, NULL, NULL) };

Where the "." operator within KLIST_INIT() is evaluated before the "*"
operator.

Add missing parentheses around macro parameter use in the following
patterns to ensure operator precedence behaves as expected:

- "x = y" is changed for "x = (y)", because "y" can be an expression
  containing a comma if it is the result of the expansion of a macro such
  as #define eval(...) __VA_ARGS__, which would cause unexpected operator
  precedence. This use-case is far-fetched, but we have to choose one
  way or the other (with or without parentheses) for consistency.
