In order to have unique names when doing lock profiling several local

But these are all named simply "lock" for a good reason, including
because they're all function scope symbols (and typically the
functions are all sufficiently short). The issue stems from the
dual use of "name" in

#define _LOCK_PROFILE(name) { 0, #name, &name, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }

so I'd rather suggest making this a derivation of a new

#define _LOCK_PROFILE_NAME(lock, name) { 0, #name, &lock, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }

if there's no other (transparent) way of disambiguating the names.

This will require to use a different DEFINE_SPINLOCK() variant, so e.g.
DEFINE_SPINLOCK_LOCAL(), which will then include the needed "static" and
add "@<func>" to the lock profiling name. Is this okay?
