[PATCH] Fix timestamp agenda setting global agenda name [9.4.6]

Dear All,

a few weeks ago, I reported the original bug with a minimal complete
example in

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2021-05/msg00757.html

My first patch attempt was wrongly based on the master branch, see

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2021-06/msg00378.html

Also, I probably messed up the subject, and replying to my first mail
did not work as intended, please accept my apologies for any confusion
caused by this.

Below, I attach a clean patch against the 'maint' branch.  Two tests
fail, but the same tests fail on maint w/o my commit.  'make compile'
does not complain.

I have a copyright assignment for Emacs on file with the FSF.

Please let me know of anything else I can do to get the fix in.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix timestamp agenda setting global agenda name

* lisp/org.el (org-follow-timestamp-link): Do not set global agenda name

The tmp value for the agenda buffer name is used in `org-agenda-list'
to set `org-agenda-buffer-name'.  Wrap the call in a let-binding for
this symbol (like the agenda dispatcher does), since otherwise it
inadvertently sets the global value.
