Nick Desaulniers 4d6fb34acb export.h: fix section name for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS for Clang ...

When enabling CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, the linker will warn about the
orphan sections:

(".discard.ksym") is being placed in '".discard.ksym"'

repeatedly when linking vmlinux.  This is because the stringification
operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings.  GCC and Clang differ
in how they treat section names that contain \".

The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor
stringification operator.
