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.
Fixes: commit bbda5ec671d3 ("kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS")
