In fact I believe it's not. While __ means something like "bare bones version to use if you are sure you have made all sanity-checks and hold all the locks", _ rather means "this function isn't here". Symbols starting with one _ are traditionaly used for library symbols, that should have been static, but for some techical reason can't. I believe it's the same in kernel.
